Swift Springs Installed w/ PICS!!!
Here are some quick pics to give everyone an idea of how the swift springs drop the Evo. I was initially really concerned about the stance of the car with these springs and I can honestly say that these springs really make the look a lot more agressive without dropping it too low. It also improved the ride quality quite noticeably. Theres def a difference in body roll now. I am really glad I went with these springs.

Thanks for the pics, I'm still torn...my parking lot for work is terrible and my driveway is pretty steep.
When you said there is a difference in body roll, you meant a reduction right? That's all I can really complain about in the evo, everything is amazing but there is some body roll in long sweeping turns.

long sweepers with only the springs installed you might notice some scary bouncing going on when the springs compress all the way. The car truelly turned like crap after i had installed the springs with no other mods. I suggest that you get a sway bar and endlinks, and anything else you can. The bodyroll might feel like it's gone but, it's just in the front of the car now. The front tires would roll over onto their edges when driving hard, the car was so unbalanced and drove worse then stock, of course that was before the Robispec stuff was done, now i love my Swifts

I didn't like the way sway bars and end links made my wrx handle, I might have went over board though with the 27-29mm (front) 24mm (rear) combo but it felt "darty" like I would turn the wheel, the car would shift hard to one side and then want to take off in the opposite direction.

I would say the car handles better then stock, but from what i hear it seems a rear swaybar plus springs combo is where its at. Thats what I plan on doing after a reflash.
