spring tech gets complicated.

But what you want is linear setup that's very stiff.

Also, you don't want to lower it too much without the supporting mods. I wouldn't lower the evo too much without upgrading the strut too (coilovers).

Then there are the camber setup and various bars that stiffens the car up.

The biggest part is, of course the driver.

Just learn how to drive better.

Stock evo's already a very good driving/suspension car.

depends on what setup u buy dont buy any basic setup 32 ways adj. only and make sure that the car is balanced even weight on each side. and anything besides that just make sure the if one has to be reworked for whatever reason you dont have to ship out the usa to get fixed good luck

those springs are supposedly not stiff enough for evo shocks..so therefore you handling is comprimised..people say the best springs are the tanabe gf210 because they are stiffer and once you lower the evo shocks past a certain point the stiffness helps support the shock better due to the fact that it is sitting lower than its normal position.
