would like to know what would be the best result for springs so many out their and read many mix reviews. let me know what u have tried and like or dislike. looking to get them for the 08 EVO x mr. thanks

 

I have teins
they do the job
check out my rs pics they speak for themselfs

 

There are obviously a ton of posts out there about best spring combo. It depends what you want. Go swift if you want performance, eibach if you want to go low, megan if you want to go really cheap.

Decide why you want them, and then go from there.

 

From what I remember reading about the rates and heights, it best to go with the Swift products.

 

The Swifts or the GTWorx are probably the best for performance. The others are more ride-height oriented than performance.

 

Do u have link to your pics,

This may help as well.

I would highly suggest you stay away from the Teins as they will destroy the shocks, and those Bilsteins are expensive.

 

I really like the H&R's..

 

I have no complaints about the Eibach Prokits on my X or my wife's WRX. I've tried lots of different aftermarket springs and they're they only ones I've been 100% happy with.

 

I've heard really good on Swift and Eibach.

 

How, can u explain more plz? Thanks

 

I run eibach prokit. I find them to be really soft for what I use my car for and on the street I worry about bottoming out a lot. I already cracked my underpanel from a dip in the road when I first installed them.

I'm not talking negatively about them. It all depends if you want show or go. For show, the eibachs are great, just be mindful when negotiating bumpy roads.

Hope that helps you decide.

 

Teins are regarded as one of the worst springs for the Evo, no matter which platform you have (VIII/IX or X). They lower the car too much, screwing up the suspension geometry and they tend to blow out the struts (due to the low ride height). Do some searching, you'll find it.

 

Search Andrew's (GT Worx) post concerning "riding bumpstops." The Evo's suspension geomtry is very very sensitivty to ride height (consider why Whitelin makes the RCA kit). Furthermore, the shock travel doesnt' allow much from stock height, let alone being lowered. Last but not least, spring rate affects handling. So fundamentally, for these chassis, you want a spring that is as stiff as you can find, all the while not lower too much to induce more body roll than stock form. I may not be totally clear...

With that said, it seems the most prefered setup is the GT Worx or the Swift springs. Both have the highest overall rates out of any springs on the market, all the while not lowering the car too much to negative affect handling characteristics.

 

^ good to know stuff^
thank you for ur time and info will take a look at the springs, recommend.
