custom Zeal XS.
spring rates are 10k all around.
The car rides smooth and not too stiff for street.
I have the dampings set @ level 2 all around.
She is going in for corner balance in two weeks.

i cant really see the front tire, but i would either lower the front a little more or raise the back to give it the raked look.

Why add rake? It'll make it handle worse.

Really, why add rake?
I got the coilovers for handling purpose not really for looks.
Once I get it corner balanced, it will give me and idea how the rake should change
or not change.

thanks guys.
As you can see, there is a bit of a rake already but it's not drastic so you can't
really tell right away.

how's ride quality? I mean, the Evo suspension is already stiff enough as it is. Which makes me reluctant to lower my car.

i have to agree Slamming the car is not that great for handling

The ride is just incredible for the spring rates I have.
My bilsteins rode nice but they were a bit too soft for my liking.
If I compare the ride with my bilsteins, I would say it's just a bit stiffer at the
damper level I have set which is level 2. Level 6 would be the most stiff, level 1 is soft.

It soaks up bumps really well and it's really not harsh at all.
I've tried up to level 5 and it was very very stiff.
Once you get past damping level 4, the stiffness becomes really apparent.
You can tell right away that it's stiffer than before.
I'll be using damping 4-6 for track purposes only.

I think Zeal's damping technology is awesome.
If you're thinking about getting some nice mid-range coilovers, I would strongly recommend Zeals XS.

BTW, I got them from A-spec (Francis) for an awesome price.
If you're interested give him a call. He is very helpful and courteous.

I've dealt with a few vendors here and AMS and A-spec is on the top of my list.
