    Evo X HKS Hipermax coilovers ok for rally?

    Hello fellow Evo brothers! I recently took my GSR with a set of HKS Hipermax coilovers on a fairly flat gravel trail the other day. After looking at rally suspensions for the car the day after the I hit the trail, I was wondering if my suspension is okay for this? I had no issues the first time around so gaining some extra knowledge about whether this setup is okay for kicking up some dirt . Thanks!

    if its just like county kept gravel roads, I think you would be ok. but if you want to run washboards and the rocky stuff that typically the trails in socal are, your looking at least KING springs and rated dirt tire set, with 15'' wheels. I don't know if you can run the rally springs on stock struts?? they will raise your car.

    if you try and run like out in McCain valley, I doubt my car would make it 50ft at any speed higher then crawling. my car would just disintegrate if I entered at speed lol.
