In the rain, my experiences is it tends to suit the chassis.. It complements it by getting it almost nuetral. The stock in the dry understeer goes away for nice controllable power on over steer. More suited for experienced drivers, but almost exactly the way you want it in the dry.

Exactly, the rain handling makes the car much more prone to power on oversteer, trail-braking oversteer, and it will plow if you turn in too quick. Almost like having a rear strut bar coupled with a 25mm sway bar.

Here's a much better recommendation:
Do not drive hard when you don't know what you are doing.

The Evo's are incredibly easy to drive fast. They lack some of the usual vices that cars of this capability possess. But that can lure people into driving way beyond their abilities. And when things go a little bit wrong at those speeds, look out!

Remember, if you are experiencing fear or adrenelin when you are driving, it's because you are driving beyone your abilities. I would recommend one of two paths for you if that's the case: slow down or improve yourself.

Again, that's some excellent advice. Most people won't listen until they learn an expensive lesson. It's funny when you hear people who don't do driving schools because they find them too expensive. But you're better off spending $500 on learning to drive than the $500 for your insurance deductible when you slide off the road and into a utility pole.

My brother was in a car accident recently. His friend was driving him and another friend in a RSX Type S. The driver decided to gun it to 70mph in the rain and lost control. They hit a traffic light pole. Both passengers were in the back seat. My brother flew out the window and landed in the street. He has a broken ankle and broke some bone under his eye. He's healing fine now. The other passenger broke his leg in 3 places, his arm and collar bone. He was recently released from the hospital. The driver was killed.
Please don't drive fast in the rain or snow. It's a stupid way to lose a life. The driver was only 19 years old.
Also, the car was lowered but the driver didn't correct the negative camber. As a result, his rear tires went bald. That also contributed to the accident. So if you're going to mess with your suspension, make sure you do it right.
