quick question????????????

i am looking primarily to lower my car. i dont track my evo and rarely take it to the drag strip, it will be mostly daily driving, with occasional aggressive driving. i dont want to spend a fortune on an aftermarket suspension, but i want it to be at least equal to stock performance. again the main thing im interested in is lowering the car to inhance the appearance. any suggestions?

I have seen cars on the track, VIR full race course, with the Tein S-tech springs and stock shocks doing very well. Input from the people who ran the cars: Stiffer than stock, but handles much better than stock. I have the MR with the Bilsteins, and I would have to say they seemed to handle the esses better than my car. I am still researching whether or not to go with lowering springs.

springs are much cheaper, but i dont want to worsen my suspension. it seems like the tein s-tech has just the drop im looking for too!

what about the camber adjustment and all, i mean w/ the coilovers you can get the camber plates, but w/ just springs, is an allignment good enough?

Directed towards anyone:
Would the Tein S-Tech lowering springs (not coilovers just the springs) fit an ES?
