Best Springs for MR shocks

hey guys,

i am picking up my new evo ix mr se tomorrow...

i sold my evo ix mr months ago and miss it too much, so im back!

ANYWAY! i need to know what springs give the BEST handling with an aggressive drop for the MR shocks

i dont care about ride quality.

i had 3000 dollar WORKS/Ohlins in my last evo, but i cant afford that right now, so to hold me off until summer of next year, i want to know what springs would give me the best performance with the most aggressive drop.

i already read the spring chart and searched and im still not sure what to get...

espelir GT look nice, and swift seem ok...

HELP!

I love my Swifts... Others would say Espelir or Tanabe. Stay away from the Teins.

Search too, it's been covered countless times.

The best springs will not give an "aggressive drop." Spring upgrades are not for lowering - they are for improved handling.

I recommend Robi, Works, or Swifts.

Because most of the people purchase the S-Tech springs. I've heard the H-Techs are a lot better.
