the springs are crap on stock struts for evo's and most other cars. But their coilovers kick ****!

I have the Tein springs and they are not as bad as people state. Yes, perhaps Swift are better but if you are getting good deal on them and this is temp solution then go for it. My car rides fine and I dont have any aligment issues.

when im talking about coil overs and springs.. im talking about coilover springs.. not an entire setup. i would realllly like to just get some "adjustable springs" aka coilovers that have good spring rates etc. for instance, when im DDing it, i would like it not as droped. but if im going to a meet, id like to slam the s*** out of it! ive been looking for just adj. springs but i cant find any

Actually with the Tein springs my car is not that lowered (slammed). The wheel gap is covered, but I don't bottom out. I'll try to take some pics and post so you can see the set up.

This yet another thread you created for no reason. Wonder why they all get closed? Do a search and you'll get tons of information.

do you mean coilovers without adj. dampers or a spring with a threaded perch?Either way they are a complete waste. Either spend the money for a GOOD set of coils or a good spring with progressive rates. My $.02...
