From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Tein SS Coilovers - LOWERED (adjusted several times to get it to the height I like and to compensate for speed bumps and angled driveways etc...)
I wanted a lower ride with adjustability so I went with the Tein SS coilovers. I can soften or stiffen the ride simply by turning a knob at each corner. I don't auto-x or drag (maybe I will go down the strip a few times in '09) so I felt this setup would work great for daily driving and, as I mentioned earlier, a few passes down the strip if I decide to go. I'm happy with my purchase and the overall driving experience compared to the original stock setup the car came with when purchased.

Than again getting springs doesn't always ruin your handling. It all depends on what springs you get.
So what is the purpose of this thread? You have a poll up asking ppl if there car is dropped? I left a comment and for some reason you have to question me like a smart ***????

So far, you're the only one who decided to demean others for not making the same choice as yours.

i'm lowered on jic coilovers with the rear springs swapped to a stiffer spring rate. it's a very minimal drop of maybe an inch. once i started tricycling at autocross i decided i needed to step up the suspension. there is another evo owner who was running the same coilovers and spent an entire autocross season fine tuning the height and dampening so i just used his specs. but i was snowplowing a little today so i'm contemplating raising it for the rest of winter, but that's such a hassle cause then i have to align, then in spring i'll want to corner balance and all of that would **** my wife off because i've spent too much time and money on the damn car over the last 6 months.
I'm on stock suspension right now, but will be lowered on GTWorx/RCE springs this winter along with a good alignment.
I'll be rolling that way until I can afford the Whiteline sway bar kit. 26mm front/24mm rear adjustable.

I'm still on completely stock suspension (05 VIII) by choice, but I have some Bilstein HD's in the garage with GTWorx springs just waiting to be put on. I moved from Virginia so less of a problem with stupid roads and crazy angled driveways. I'm all about upgrading suspension/brakes/handling with the power as it increases.
