Best Suspension For Road

Hi
I bought a Evo 6. Previous owner installed full racing Tein shocks.
Im not sure which type of Tein shocks are installed. Maybe I can figure that out somehow so I can sell them?

I can feel every bump in the road, really not good for street use at all. It so hard its destroyed the steering bushes

What should I get to replace them? I live in Thailand, the roads are pretty bad. Should I get rally shocks? Or whats the closes aftermarket part to the shocks that come with the Evo as standard? Is that the way to go? Or something in between?

In your situation, maybe installing the stock suspension is your best choice

or, installing the stock suspension & using a lowering spring (i.e. GTWorx or Swift spring)

A lot of us run Fortune Auto coilovers. They have a dealer in Thailand (Kudos Motor Co. LTD)
https://fortune-auto.com/dealers/

I would call Kudos Motor. They can custom spring & valve for the T-Land road conditions. They do make coilovers for the EvO6

Just a thought

Hello i may be of some help i live in the philippines and ive been to thailand a few times and i can say from experience that philippine roads are much worse than thailand roads. I too have an evo 6 and went with d2 street coilovers with 7.5kg springs. The ride is just stiff enough at its softest setting its just a tad bit stiffer than stock ive had them on for 2 years now no problems so far. Before the d2 coilovers i had hks coils which were way too stiff and harsh ended up ruining those switched to stock evo6 suspension then a set of tommi makinen edition suspension both rode well for older used sets but they soon blew out within a year each. Went with the d2 coils as they offer great aftersales support over here with replacement parts easily sourced tho i have not needed to get anything done since putting them on. Would recommend them if they have a dealer over there. If they can hold up to philippine roads im sure they would be great over there.
