Caught the Bug
In my opinion the evo C/O kit only gets bad reviews from mall crawlers. If you want an insane amount of flex, it comes with small sacrifices. A coilover may briefly contact the frame or a tire may rub a fender when you are super twisted up. It may put a small scratch in the springs pretty blue paint. The Starbucks crowd obviously can't understand or accept that.
Take it from someone that wheels every weekend on 7-9 rated Sand Hollow trails. I'm talking trails that a full bodied JLU shouldn't even be on. The Evo stuff is the best out there! I've wheeled with guys that have had the Rebel and Acutune kits. They don't even come close! Both had way less travel and were way less predictable at the limit. A lot of coilovers that are setup poorly have terrible characteristics when at the limit. I've personally witnessed 2 rollovers from said shocks unloading in weird wacky ways that ended up putting the rig on it's roof. The Evo kit is insanely stable at the articulation limit and beyond. My Jeep spends a lot of time on 3 wheels and is totally stable and predictable.
