Still rolling on my GTWORX springs and still loving them. I just measured the ride height 3 days ago and it is within 1/8" at all corners. The springs rates are ideal for the EVO and I can put four adults in the car and not worry about any rubbing or bouncing. One day I will get the MR dampers rebuilt for GTWORX.

Gotta have all bumpstop material available for the occasional landing.

Our springs are not Swifts. We make our own.

Smike is running front and rear swaybars.

Swifts are a little lower than ours.

Ours are in between Swift Sports and Swift Spec R's. More linear than progressive.

I have my GTWorx springs but I have not yet installed them. Maintenance comes before performance, so I have to wait after the 30k service. I can't wait to try them though.

Is there a confirmed list of shorter-than-stock struts available for sale?

^ There really aren't any. The only struts available are Bilsteins HD and Ohlins fixed perch, which i think are being discontinued. There may be another option soon. The Bilsteins are very good though and priced pretty well. They sell out too fast though.

I don't know a ton about the evo suspension but i know that we used koni inserts in stock housings for nissans

allowing for the 8611's would make a killer strut

that would be a good way to go. not sure if anyone has done it before though...and the OEM strut is inverted which may make things difficult.
