mr suspension or hybrid

what should i do, keep my evo ix suspension or get the mr suspension or should i do a hybrid and use just the mr rear suspension. ive read that the mr struts and springs make the ride smoother but produce more body roll. ive also read that someone kept the front stock ix suspension and ran with bilstein rears. im looking for the best handling setup. thanks

If you want better handling, go for some coilovers or suspension setup like robispec...

That's true, but it's not a night and day difference.

I dove my car for a day configured exactly as you describe. It felt unsettled.

There is no "best." it all depends on the application. I run the MR suspension, because it's more compliant and allows the car to track more effectively on less than ideal roads.
