Which 3g rear susp parts did you use? Anything need to be modified?

The upper and lower control arms are a direct swap. The rear way bar I removed from a v6 3g, I would recommend using the 3g endlinks. The swaybar brakets holes have to be opened up a little to work.
The trailing arm and toe adjustment are the same. All my parts were for the 3.0v6 3g.
This works for a FWD platform.

The 3g upper should work with the AWD platform. The rest will have to wait till I get back stateside.

I will try and put some pictures up later.

Curious, is there a significant advantage to using the 3g components?

The only real difference is the Rear swaybar(FWD Platfrom only), its larger. Other than that the components weigh a little less. Not much of a gain, but gives a nice tubular look.

Stock GST swaybar- 13mm

3g V6 model swaybar- 19mm

Your brakes ducts look great! You mentioned needing new brake fluid, I would recommend the Amsoil Seris 600 brake fluid. I have heard some VERY good things about it on Evos and I plan to switch to it in my STU Evo as well.

well right now Im running 235/45r17 hankook evo v12 tires and Im impressed with them for being $98 each .

The V12's are nice and cheap and a pretty good street tire for the money. I am currently running them on my Evo and the leave a LOT to be desired as an autox tire. For the best AutoX street tires check out the new Dunlop ZII's, old Dunlop ZI starspecs, new BFG Rivals, or the Hankook R-S3's.

As for the brake fluid a use the ATE super blue now. My brake duct will be redone a bit, I'm happy with the results of them but I want it to look a little cleaner.

On the tires the kuhmo xs are pretty good for our heavy car. The R-S3 sidewall is not as stiff either.(one of the EVOX runs them and are other evo x runs the kumhos). I still wanted to try the starspecs but I looking to just get some slicks. Still debating on a good set.
