FEATURES
A multi-link suspension which is developed with
intention of performance improvement for racing
use has been adopted. Yet this suspension is
basically the same type as current Lancer
EVOLUTION-VI Tommi Makinen Edition, but the
following points have been improved.
D
By widening tread (10 mm) and optimizing roll
center height, the cornering performance from
initial responce to limited performance has been
improved.
D
By increasing bump strokes (10 mm) adhesion
at the time of rolling and cornering limitation
has been improved.
D
By optimizing the damping force of shock
absorbers, spring constants of coil springs and
bushing characteristics, the cornering
performance from initial responce upto limited
performance has been improved.
