The evo already handles well from the factory. But if you want to upgrade, I'd look into JIC, Zeal or HKS. Wait until you really got used to the suspension then upgrade. There isn't any point of lowering the car now. 
these guys have been making suspension for the evo for years

Give the car a little time... it'll probably settle in a little. The ride height you show would probably leave 0 travel and horrible geometry for the suspension. Basically you'll ruin your Evo's handling. I would attend at least a years worth of track events before tinkering with the Evo's suspension.

Hey guys, just to let you know I work for a local dealer in AZ, and those spacers HAVE to be taken out when the car is PDI'd. If you have them in your car get them out. By the way I just got back from a trip to the Chicago Auto show. The new Ralliart lancer was there for the press introduction and it is a big improvement. Also, someone mentioned the Ralliart parts, they will be soon and they tell us they will warranty them as factory parts

I dont think it looks bad...it's a little low in the front though. I think the main problem people have is that ricers with rich daddies get these cars and "slam" them then install a "phat" system and some heavier wheels. People that appreciate the car for what it is cant even get it because all the allocations are taken up or the mark-up is outrageous. That's one wasted allocation right there.
