Good info with the exception to springs. Remove S Techs - noobs should not be pointed to those - period. It will not handle better, and they kill struts. I would rather see them do it right the first time.

Please update this section:
Swifts: $275:
Swift Sports: 179-269, 207-319ib/in (157-314 for MR). -1.4, -0.8 drop.
Swift Spec R's: 157-358, 196-380ib/in (153-380 for MR). -1.4, -0.8 drop

GTWorx: $189:
290 lbs/in, 330 lbs/in. -20mm(-0.8in), -15mm(-0.6) drop.

Other notables:
RobiSpec Springs
Works Springs

 

That is your opinion. I've been running S.Techs for over 25k daily-driven miles with zero problems or strut failures. I even have an autocross trophy to back them up. This thread is based off the personal experience of myself and Scheides. We only recommend things we have actually used/touched and been impressed with. Thanks for posting your thoughts and additional spring info though.


Eibach Pro-Kit: F-165lbs(2.9k) R-140lbs(2.5k) drop = 1.3"F/1.3"R
Tein S Tech: F-212lbs(3.8k) R-291lbs(5.1k) drop = 2.0"F/ 0.9"R

Here is some more spring info. I feel its good to give people as much info as possible so they can make the best informed decision for themselves.

 

Not my opinion - its been proven x-dozen times. They are too low, too soft. That is echoed here by many sad Evo owners who have found that out - including a moderator.

Sorry, I am not affiliated with Eibach or Tein.

People should use the Evo Tires, Wheels, Brakes & Suspension Forum - there is a sticky right at the top for them.

Note - you will find that the 2 you recommend are too soft or too low or both.

 

Good for you. I'm not affiliated with any brand or company. I'm an accountant by day and car enthusiast by night/weekend. Like I said, people are free to make their own decisions with the info at hand; all I can do are make recommendations based on my personal experience. The spring debating ends now; I don't want this thread turning into another flame fest since EvoM already has plenty of those.

 

Hey, I agree with you - own decisions with info.

Otherwise good thread.

 

Thanks

 

I got it off a vendor but I cant find his name in any of my old PMs. Ill keep looking through my old info. If you want you can have mine for the same price. Still in the box.

 

+1 for this thread. Learned some things i didnt even know.

 

Huh?

 

he bought an O2 housing but apparently has not installed it.

 

Then he should install it

 

Then u should find me the best performance for buck O2 housing as it's darn near $100! (please, please, pretty please.)

 

For around $100 get the Megan o2 housing; Buschur dyno-proved it to make the most gains. For $200 you can get it from him ceramic coated (which I did) or for $120 (possibly cheaper on sale if you ask nicely) you can get the regular Megan.

MAP will black ceramic coat the o2 housing too for a reasonable charge. It would be the same black ceramic coating used on their o2 eliminator downpipe.

I have heard decent performance out of the Megan but also heard that they might have some fitment issues and maybe boost creep?

 

I've now installed 4 Megans on 4 different cars and they've all fit perfectly with no boost creep issues. Two of the cars have GM BCS's and two have MBC's. You'll generally get a bit more boost out of the turbo with the addition of an o2 housing though so you'll have to adjust your boost controller accordingly.
