Beatrush Explosion

Take Beatrush’s Floor Performance Bar, Front Performance Bar, Front Member Support Bars, Driveshaft bushings, install all of these items on a Evo, and what do you get? The answer is simple: a more nimble Evo looking to instantly respond to your every command. I know, saying that car will respond to your every command sounds a little over the top, but it’s the best way I could describe the feeling of driving this car with all these items installed. Don’t get me wrong, the Evo is a great car to being with, but sometimes the little things can enhance the car’s ability to perform better then before.

After our last track event at VIR, the topic of chassis stiffening came up with our paddock buddies. Wondering if small enhancements could make a difference to the handling characteristics of the car, we decided to contemplate what little items were needed to accomplish our goal for a better time.

It was now time to do some research to find the best chassis modifications that would fit my needs and save my wallet from losing weight. With a little help from Kami Speed, the decision to go with Beatrush’s floor performance bar, front performance bar, and front member support bars was the most logical. With so many Beatrush items I was ordering, throwing in a set of driveshaft bushings to complete the Beatrush experience was a no brainer.

Conclusion
Driving the car on the street, I did notice a difference in the chassis. Going over bumps and dips in the road brought out a different reaction that wasn’t experienced before. The car felt a tad bit more solid and stable then it did previously. Obviously the car wasn’t pushed to its limit on the street, but you could still get a feel for what was going on. The results were not a dramatic improvement and shouldn’t be expected, especially on the street. The track will be the only place to figure out if the new parts are improving the car’s performance. With that said, all of these parts should help improve the overall feel for the car and also improve the look of your car (if you’re into that kind of thing). Anyone attending autox’s, HPDE’s, or Drag events should consider a combination or all of the parts I went with to see if your times improve. Stay tuned for a follow up article after a weekend beating at the track.
