What's the point of modding at all if it's only used on the track.
With that logic anybody who doesn't use their car on the track should be driving a 10 year old beater car. Afterall who needs an even a stock evo's performance on the street. It doesn't matter if you track your car or not....what matters is you make your pride and joy evo into what you desire, whether that's the show route, or the performance route, or just plain stock, do what brings you happiness with your car. I really like the look of a lowered evo, and by the way if I didn't like the look of an evo in the first place I would not have bought one...so if you think lowering it makes it look even better..do it, it doesn't matter if you track it or not. For those who track your car, you do it because that's what brings you happiness, respect and allow others to do what brings them happiness. Everyone has to do what's right for them, not what what you think is right for them.
Ok I'll get off my soap box now.

It's your time, money, and passion, not mine. Spend it as you please.

God you're lame. Good thing you bought an import tuner car. That way you can go online for the past six years and tell ALL of the other people who the passions for the same import tuner car that somehow they are in the wrong and you, standing almost completely along on the subject of upgrading performance being pointless past the limits you've determined is somehow correct. Then when somebody stands up to your rediculous point you cop out and play the "Do you really need the validation of an Internet forum..." card.

On Topic: I'm also debating on upgrading to coilovers or just swap out the springs to reduce body roll.. I really don't care about lowering my car since then I have to start being mindful of curbs when I park.

I'm selling my JIC FLT-TAR coilover with 3 sets of springs - 10KG, 8KG, and 7KG so that you can find tune the balance of the car, remote adjusters for the rear shocks are also included as it is almost impossible to reach into the strut towers in the rear to adjust these shocks or any shocks.
Please see my post in the Parts For Sale section or here's the direct link to eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...33590&viewitem=
Starting bid is less than half of what I paid for the CO, extra springs, and remote adjusters. These CO's have about 5000 miles on them and are in very good shape. I'm selling because wife now drives the MR and she said the JIC's are too stiff for her and I want the car to ride higher as she doesn't know how to take driveways at an angle so there's no point in keeping the JIC's.
