Yeah the suspension comes with Tokico struts...soo its not complete shit..I put Eibach springs on and handles pretty damn good..of course not super car status but there brakes are..comparable to porsche and were tested with water in the lines racing pike's peak and held fine Lake Effect Racing won 1st place in class in "Car and Drivers 1 Lap" event 2 years ago..and placed 14th overall this year (out of over 100 cars) and he built his in his garage at home. So power to weight and the ability to keep it reliable over the ever breaking tranny's in EVO's and STI's with the engine capable of up to 500WHP on the stock iron block and internals for the $ can't be beat. I use traction bars and mounts with a new clutch and never snapped an axle or tranny. (knock on wood)
