Just curious if anyone knows if a set of MR Bilsteins/springs would give a drop to a non-mr evo? So in short, are the MR's any lower than its counterparts?

Dont think so. I had MR Bilsteins and stock Springs and was pretty high. I just went with Swifts and they drop the car for a clean, none overly aggressive look.

I'm pretty sure the Bilsteins are actually softer than the stock OE shocks that come on the other models (RS & GSR). Springs rates are the same.

Just realize by throwing on a set of lowering springs on the bilsteins you are dramatically shortening the lifespan of the shocks... if you don't care LOWER AWAY GENTLEMEN!!

Swifts don't ruin your struts.
