Try the Endura-Tech. If you are primarily going to use the coilovers on a daily driver with the occasional track opportunity, be that circle, road or drag, you will be pleased. I state this on satisfaction from customers, not just because I work here.

STANCE AL+ (all aluminum) or the STANCE GR+ pro (with helper springs)...can't go wrong with either of these.
Inverse monotube design / 15 way adjustable.

I'm running the STANCE GR+ with the 9k and 8k springs...
Love them!
Bearable for daily driving...turn the knob couple clicks and it handles the tracks oh so well.

or baller status:

of course this is assuming u have all the OTHER suspension parts to go w/coilovers:
swaybars, stiffer bushings, stiffening braces, stickier tires, etc...

I think he meant "both circle and strip". Who wants to build an oval-racer Evo though?

No, it doesn't. Just because you have $10,000 of disposable income doesn't mean you should buy $10,000 worth of shocks. Likewise, if you only have $500, it doesn't mean you should blow it on the first $500 set of coilovers you find.

It depends on what the driver's needs are for the car. A daily driver doesn't need JRZ's, and a race car doesn't need dress-up coilovers that put price and looks over function.

swaybars, stiffer bushings, stiffening braces, stickier tires, etc...
That implies that all those mods are supporting mods necessary to make coilovers work effectively. That is not true. This is not a turbo setup. If there is any mod that can be even remotely considered a "supporting" mod to coilovers, it would be a roll-center adjuster. The more I read about it, the more it makes sense, to a point.

my point was that alot of guys slap coilovers or springs on their cars & wonder why their cars now handle worse than stock. a coilover kit is not the only solution for an EVO's handling improvement. there are other parts needed to really make them effective & worth the money spent. one doesn't have to buy the most expensive, but u do get what u pay for...
