Evo 7 suspension into an FTO? Very doubtful....

Wouldn't say so either - if you said the EVO 4 or 5 then it might be worth a try but it would still be unlikely to suit. When you say adjustable suspension though are you talking about coilovers? Would be more hopeful of them fitting though the suspension mounting at the bottom of an EVO 7 would likely be different to an FTO.

So in retrospect - No.

yes i am talking about coilovers d2 racing sports

I already try it, but do not fit.

The reason is that a Fto suspension has in the lower part of the shock bolts to stabilizer bar, and the evo hasn´t.

the upper suspension mounting is the same, this it fits.

here is dificult to find a suspension for an FTO

Coilovers in my experience tend to be too hard for Irish roads.
Better to go down the same route taken by a number of others on this site including myself:

KYB dampers - http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... b0s585p416

Apex springs - http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... b0s584p412

Don't worry about the extra degree of chamber on the front KYBs over OE spec - IMO it improves the turn-in and handling.

I will take your advice, thank you

Id imagine it would help allright. Most cars tend to lose a degree or two camber during cornering..so would the KYB set up..but it would drop the camber during cornering to the optimum level designed for the fto...

True - my thinking though is that Mitsubushi designed the FTO to have around .5 degree of negative camber so that it would inherently understeer. The KYB's will have approx 1.1 degree of negative camber which is well recognised as providing an optimum amount of grip across the front tyres - however this increased front end grip may now cause the back end to feel a little lighter but then it never did cars like the Integra Type R (1.5neg camber) any harm. Many guys who regularly track their cars will have a much more extreme amount of camber - this will help turn-in at the expense of straight line stability.

If you want to further adjust your camber - the adjustable camber bolts available from Camskill will allow you to adjust your camber up to 1.5 negative degrees. Add the increased spring rates on the KYBs and APEX springs into the mix, sort out your bushes (poly bushes where possible) and add a front and rear strut brace and you won't believe the difference to your cars stance and especially its handling.
