Get the Megan street coilovers, many people can vouch for the quality and ride for daily driving and racing. The best price i've seen was through Speed Corps, let me know if you want to get in contact with John from Speed Corps he got one of the best prices i've seen with Megan parts especially and top notch customer service. ;-)

+1! I've got the Sustec Pro 7 setup with the TEAS and I love it. The adjustable damping really compensates for 10k/12k springs. In my "snow/comfort" saved mode, the car feels like stock... with stockish understeer. In my "auto cross" mode, most of the understeer is gone. Also, I like being able to change modes based on road conditions. I just go full soft when I see a broken up road. Overall this has been a mod that I've been really happy with.

They are one of the best options under $3k. Very very good with great aftersale support from Robi who knows quite a bit about suspension for EVO.

I got a set of Robi's streets and they ride very good for a coilover. Accompanied by the stock hats you dont hear any additional noise associated with aftermarket camber plates. My gf didnt notice the difference in the ride till I told her they were coilovers. When you take a turn you definately know they're not stock though.

Robispec ftw

Why would anyone need better handling for street use?

As someone who casually does HPDEs, he must be one heck of a driver to be out driving the stock suspension.

As someone who DD, AXs, and HPDEs - a coil-over for some time on the track is not first answer. Advance search my screen name and Swifts. Or youtube my screen name. I run Swift springs and sways on Bilstein HD struts - its one heck of a set up.

I love my Megans. 2 years w/o issues. They handle better than stock and surprising ride better than the stock KYB struts. So it is have your cake and eat it too. They do make occasional noises but these are the noise you expect to hear from any solid pillow ball mounted suspension. If you want an absolutely quiet suspension, then get replacement struts and lowering springs and resuse the OEM rubber shock mounts. BTW the Megans are made by BC Racing in Taiwan and are also sold under the Apexi N1 ExV and Greddy Type S labels (for more money).

Want AX/HPDE time slips, data, and trophies. I am 2-4 (60s AX course) seconds faster on my HD/Swift combo over my Megan Tracks. And on lapping days I am right up in the advanced group running some of the quicker times of the day. Then I just drive home.

No worries about rain, snow, salt, noises. Thats how you have your cake and eat it too.

SmikeEvo are the swaybars needed? I'm looking to get rid of my GF210 springs and not sure what setup to run. I autocross maybe 3-5 times a year. Thanks!
