"doing it right" doesn't always mean coilovers. different folks need/want different things from their car and coilovers aren't always the answer. SmikeEvo and others have proven the the Evo is a very capable performer even on lowering springs.

That's my setup, biltsien HD and swift spec-r, 17x9 wheels. I went from average priced coilovers to this setup and never looked back.
