Sometimes it's amazing to see how cheap coilovers can get. And while the Chinese budget coilovers pack a lot of "features".....the damping is downright terrible and you have hardly any suspension travel to work with. 32 clicks of adjustment doesn't mean much if all 32 clicks suck!
And now here's a known suspension manufacturer with a great reputation with some high quality coilovers at a realistic price you can afford. Available for all levels...street, auto-x, and hardcore track. The dyno plots look GREAT and the spring rates are very good. I have to say I'm impressed with EIBACH!
Feel free to give me a call or PM if you have any questions on why you should trust your suspension to the experts at Eibach in Germany, rather than the cheap crap you find elsewhere at this price point.
Free shipping applies to continental US only.

There hasn't been many decent options in the 1-2k range for EVO in the past. But now there are. These really are a fantastic way to get your EVO X to handle well without sacrificing ride quality and build quality like the cheap crap ones you see all over the place.
And of course, when you buy from GTWorx/Racecomp, you're getting a wealth of suspension knowledge to back you up and help you set the car you want it to handle.

On the Eibach Pro-Street-S shocks: You mention that they are "height adjustable" - does that mean that the ride height of the car can be adjusted? If so, what is the range of adjustability?
This is important to me because up here in the north country we get feet of snow at a time and I think a significant drop from stock would turn my X into a snow plow, unless I could adjust the drop back to close to stock when the first snow flies.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, exactly....ride height is adjustable. You will be able to lower the car an inch or two (i'd recommend 1.5 at most), then raise it up to stock-ish ride height in the winter.
Keep in mind, you want to get the car aligned with each ride height change.

This is good info. Thanks Andrew! I'll call you with with a few more questions.
BTW, the roads are so bad up here that getting the car aligned every 6 months is not a bad idea anyhow.
