i mostly use my car for street/highway driving and drag racing, would it be better for me to just get the mr bilsteins and swift springs? my jic's were tuned by robi and i love the performance and the stance of the car, but its just uncomfortable for driving on the street.

Yes for you Bilsteins and good springs are probably good. I wasn't aware that Robi would tune JICs. I should look into having him tune mine.

he did a great job tuning mine, which is why its hard for me to try to sell them, but the ride of the jic's is rough since i have the 10/14kg springs, im thinking about just changing to the 7/8kg springs and having robi retune them or do the bilstein/swift set up, but dont really like the way the car looks after the drop with this set up.

There's only so much you can do....no matter who is tuning them.

Very true Andrew. On the inverse, you can have Moton 3 ways that are only as good as how they are set up.

so do you guys think its better to change the springs to 7/8kg or go with the swift/bilstein set up?

Only you can answer that question ultimately. If you don't need aggressive alignment beyong what is possible with shocks and springs, the ability to corner balance, adjustable damping, and don't absolutely need the weight savings, then there's not much need for adjustable coilovers. The Bilstein damping is definitely better than that of the JICs.
One good setting is better than 18 (or rather infinite) wrong settings.

Why wouldn't you get Blisteins and RobiSpec springs?

Yeah Swift is great, but IMO GTWorx or Robi springs will be just as good. Swift is well known and JDM and all, but they aren't on this board helping Evo owners out on their own time. Andrew and Robi are, often without even promoting their own products, even though they have spent their own time and money on developing products. Give something back to your hard working and genuinely passionate fellow American enthusiasts, racers, and engineers.

^ That's why I went with RobiSpec. He has proven knowledge and he openly shares it on this forum. For what its worth I purchased my entire suspension package from him. It was a bit pricey at $900 shipped but everything was new.
