Could we do it earlier; perhaps March? April cuts into baseball season and all.

go to the website...robispec .com
cliff /spark note version

Robispec Basic $1200.00
this includes lowering springs, rear swaybar rear bump steer correction kit. rear trailing arm bushing kit, alignment and all labor on your stock struts. This completely prepares your car for the track and as a side benefit many customers report better ride quality too.
If you later go with a coilover option all you would have to do is reset the front camber and toe as no changes will occur to the rear alignment...

Coilover packages pricing as listed on robispsc.com

$800.00
Gets you all items of the basic minus springs including installation setup cornerweight and alignment with you in the car. (cornerweighting "is not charged" with a suspension purchase)

$1050.00 If you bring your own coilovers for the above workand parts (add $100.00 if I need to move the springs on your coilovers if they are already installed on your car)

options
Cornerweight stock struts (yes I now have a system allowing this)
$250.00

Front roll center correction $395.00
corrects roll center change and improves camber gain on lowered Evos adding front end grip.

Robispec 2 position adjustable front swaybar $425.00
(slightly stiffer and slightly softer than stock)

Roll fenders/quarterpanels for 275/285 tires $300.00

Cornerweight your coilovers $250.00 (needs to be aligned at this time too)

I will do "just" alignments IF TIME PERMITS....$180.00 if pre scheduled.....you will also be charged the same as everyone else for the "travel fee"

I can make two trips if ther is enough interest but the travel charge is higher with fewer installs.

Robi, if I've already purchased the 25mm rear sway and want the basic package, what's the charge?

Tell me about it! After hearing Robi talk about the development behind the KW Competition 2s, Im almost sold on that system. Stiff when it needs to be, decent ride on the street. It also didnt hurt hearing an Evo that ran the high end Zeal setup had them swithced out for the Robi KWs and the car immediately ran 5 seconds quicker.

A word of advice since we all live in the snow belt. I garage my car during winter, but I still fear/hate rust. Robis KWs come galvanized rather than coated. This provides adequate but not the best protection against corrosion. Robi said we could upgrade to the better protection, but it comes at a price. Heat is not disapated as well, and he needs a 60 day lead time to get them made. Just heads up.

I also garage my car for the winter, but I thought all KWs are stainless. Did I misunderstand?

My dilemma is whether I want to plop the money down for a great set of coilovers or have him just work on my MR suspension as is with maybe the basic setup.

I don't track my car, but I autocross regularly. I've had the KW V3s on my STi, but want something more for the Evo. I'm also very tempted at the Visnu Ohlins.

I could have misunderstood as well. In terms of the Vishnu setup, also a great choice. I know though that when I call Robi Spec, I get to talk to Rob, the guy who designed the setup. That goes a long way in my book.
