Stated differently, you have no idea how the EVO system performs, let alone how it compares. :crazyeyes:
:cheesy: That's about what I was thinking :crazyeyes:
Everybody has their opinion.
This is true but some of us have opinions based on first hand experience testing out a myriad of lifts and coils.
I still think aev is better for a DD especially for what this guy wants to do. 1 and 2 trails are easy and he doesn't need a lot.
I've driven mine at 80-85 mph for 10 hours from Truckee, CA to Salt Lake City, Utah. Was totally stable. I also drive mountain roads and the aev performs on the road.
I have a hard time believing evo can deliver on road performance and offroad performance. The soft springs are nice if you are a Baja style driver.
Being that you have ZERO experience on how the Plush Ride coils perform, you can only ASSUME what you have is better. But, if it helps you to sleep better at night, you're more than welcome to believe whatever it is you want to believe. In all fairness, ride quality is 100% subjective anyway :yup:
The aev drop brackets are annoying at times, but that's what delivers the handling manners.
I'm sure that's what you were sold but to be fair, a set of adjustable control arms would do that as well and without robbing you of ground clearance. Drop brackets are just a cheap way of getting you the same results.
Ummm, death wobble will not be caused or prevented by drop brackets. Talk to me again once your track bar bushings, ball joints or unit bearings are bad.
I have rubbed them a few times but they are sturdy. Only once on the rubicon did I rub them while I took a wrong line up Cadillac hill.
No offense but, you'll forgive me if I'm not impressed.
Nobody ever said you couldn't wheel with drop brackets and really, I wouldn't even say that the AEV kit is bad. What I don't like about it is that it is way over priced for what little you really get. The drop brackets rob you of the very lift that you just paid through the nose to get. The brackets are flimsy and bend. And, last but not least, the coils are way too firm for my taste and they are firm because they are designed to hold up a lot of weight. It is what AEV touts as being a benefit and short of running coil overs, you just can't have a coil that holds up a lot of weight be comfortable. But hey, what do I know.
And, before the fanboys start to rain down on me, I LOVE AEV products - just not their lift kits which are technically the now defunct Nth Degree Mobility kit. As far as EVO Plush Ride coils go, I would be the first to say that they are way too soft IF you tend to carry a shit ton of gear with you. They WILL sag under those conditions.
