As others have said, Swifts are great. Or if you're patient, wait for ours to come out.

When we release ours, we will probably be doing back to back tests on a stock EVO vs. EVO with our springs, including getting some skidpad numbers. And we'll be as objective as possible. They WILL improve handling.

Not everyone needs coilovers.

Listen I agree with you and I want to move to a coilover at some point but I'm
not to the point yet. When I move to a coilover I want to understand how my
changes effect the car. This will come with time and untill that point I'm not
gonna drop 2k on a coilover to drop my car less then 1" and turn it to stiff
and probaly not touch it again. Have you ever heard of K.I.S.S.

And after the drop, when the car is realigned to stock camber and toe, how will it be any different than before. Assuming mostly street driving.

Ugh the car gets aligned after the springs are installed, you could get it aligned back to factory specs if you wanted but I opted for a bit of negative camber. My tires will wear just like they did before I lowered the car.

It sounds like you have no idea what your talking about, and the fact that you cant spell transfer only supports my decision.

Last time I checked, this was an enthusiast network. A place where people share ideas and learn what to do and what not to do. For mostly street driving or maybe only street driving, why is it important that we should know about transfer/transfur? Please shed some light on the subject. I myself and others are on here for help and sometimes to help others. So if you have some worthwhile info, please share it. Thanks.

Haha been lowering cars for years as have many of friends who are owners of shops and have never seen a car need weight scales to be lowered .
They are not needed for lowering a car!
