Coilovers for the stanced and the low?
Hello evom, i posted this thread in the suspension forums and after some replies they suggested i post in the show & shine forums so that you guys can help me out.
I have an evo 8 and I'm looking to go low (I know how a lot of you bash slammed and stretched but it's what I like). Yes I come from the VW world... I currently have MR shocks with tein springs and the ride is great, handles really well. I don't really track the car at all other than a few passes down a 1/4 mile a year. More than anything I'm looking for the ability to go low and ride comfortably as much as possible (compared to H&R ultra low coilovers is what I would like).
Here's a pic of my car as it sits now.. I'm going to be getting rid of the CE28s soon so if anyones interested PM me. Thanks fella's.

i havent heard much about the tein flex coils, are you pretty low right now?
ive heard good things about the BC racing coils, my buddy had a set in his evo an they rode pretty good but he wasnt exactly slammed.

Im on bc ram coilovers. I think they have a very nice nice ride. I have riden in cars with megans, and the bc's ride a lot better imo. Im not sure if they will give you the"slammed" look, but they have a nice ride.

If you are more into the show on a DD than hitting up the race track I recommend looking into the H&R. They use Bilstein dampers and ride excellent. Only ride height adjustable but if you dont need a track suspension, I highly recommend them. CBRD recommends them for street cars and Perrin has great prices!

I got quite a bit to go lower in the front, prolly a solid 1.25 of threads still. The rear, there isnt a whole lot left to go down. I just wanted the car to be level as possible without rubbin in the rear.
p.s. what are you looking to get for your wheels/tires? Specs?

I wonder how true that is. I say that because I remember reading that before I bought mine and I am probably like 2" up front and 1.25" in back and still have lots of thread to go.

Just cut your Tein springs, and you'll be good to go. People say that the Tein springs don't drop the car very much, so cutting the springs seems completely reasonable.
