I'm contemplating a change to MR Bilsteins in my 03 evo. Has anyone tried this combo yet? If so what have you noticed from oem.

 

I'm curious about this myself.

A more compliant ride with better handling?

Have we concluded whether or not the springs would need to be changed out as well?

 

Like to upgrade a bit without spending buku bucks for coil overs.

 

I was thinking about this also.. What lowering springs fit the Mr? I dont want it stock height..

 

Any spring would work with MR bilstein struts .

 

Yes, you take a Chevy Aveo springs and slap them on the Evo with Bilsteins and it's all cool.

 

You could buy a set of coilovers for the price of the MR Blistiens. Actually....a really nice set of coilovers for almost the 2 grand you'll spend on MR suspension parts.

 

The Bilsteins have already come out of our MR in favor of the WORKS/Ohlins and WORKS/ZEALS.
They ride better than the previous stock suspension but spring selection is always tricky on a non-adjustable shock. You have to match them together to be effective. For example, our WORKS Ride springs which are well suited for the stock KYB shocks may not work well for the Bilsteins. We need to put them on the shock dyno and measure them.

 

I noticed that the MR is not as harsh on the road as was my 03 Evo !

 

Will the Mr struts work with the tein s tech springs?

 

They fit. But no one know how well they work together... yet

interested in harsh ride fix
good thread!

 

I can attest to the softer ride of the MR. While not soft by luxory car standards, for a performance car it is amazing...

 

Is the MR ride height higher than the GSR?

 

Has anyone put the MR spring combo in a 2003 or 2004 yet?
