What’s up everyone? Need some help; I’ve been doing research on other sites and this forum and see that people use springs more than adjustable coilovers. I didn’t want to get springs because the suspension set-up that Evo’s come with already work great. I was goanna go for Tein’s type SS (super street) or maybe Tein’s base adjustable coilovers…...they are expensive. Would you guys recommend springs or adjustable coilovers for the Evo? I’m jus looking for a respectable gain in performance cause the car is also daily driven.

Do u have any pics of your ride lowered? I've been told by a few people that once you use springs alone, the strut eventually gets damaged cause the spring doesn't use the entire length of the strut. Is there any truth in that statement whats so ever?

In most cars it will damage the strut but I am not sure on the EVO the suspension is a little better than most anyway. I dont think I have any good pics yet but maybe when I get out of work ill clean the car up and take a few today or tomorrow. It looks 1000000 times better lowered though

Handleing is insane. My tires have become my weakest point now. I was going like 65 on a tight on ramp with no body roll at all it was stuck on the inside of the corner untill it started to get sideways on me tires just couldnt keep up
