Get better springs. Search and read - worst springs you can put on an Evo.

You cannot slam an Evo. Here are some links I suggest reading:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ead-links.html

And springs are not worth skipping. A proper spring will handle better than a cheap coil-over.

Swifts lower -1.4 up front and -0.8 in the rear.

If i were you I'd get some Swift Spec-R's. A buddy of mine has it on his 9 and it rides& handles great. Im picking up a set soon.

s-techs were hands down the worst springs for subaru's...handling wise. they're drop was really dramatic and had a soft bouncy ride.

swift if you don't want coils. stechs will kill the stock struts due to spring rate

What uninformed advice that is.

The rates are virtually identical. Why not do some research before using your position to influence members.
