Nice rubimon!!! Are they on here to PM questions since it's vague as to what is entailed on the front replacement. I have the tf 2.5" bb and I'd like to understand this system and maybe some pics to understand what is entailed to install. 12" of travel I would assume a 4" lift is needed.

It's possible this is to replace the stock system, I'm searching for fox since this is the coilover system and I think I read before it yielded a 3" lift. It's the way to go but I'm not sure for stock replacement coilover is available.

That is a different system I guess and nothing to do with the coil over shocks. I'll have to wait to talk to evo rep to see what this entails and what gains are achieved. It can't be stock because the system allows for use of :

Adjustable ride height will accommodate use of 35” to 42” tires
