Evo's on coilovers

Ive been searching this site for a few days and i cant seem to find pictures of Evo with coilovers, especially slammed ones. Im looking to get an Evo very soon and i wanted to see how low i can make the car and it still be somewhat practical. If you have any pics post them up. Thanks

Slammed = low rider, not an Evo. That will cause so many issues with handling.

Ive tried using the search option on this site, but the results are all over the place lol. I seen a few lowered on springs that look pretty nice, but i havent seen much on coilovers. As far as the slamming of the car goes, Im a Honda guy all of my previous cars were slammed. But a few people told me that slamming the Evo isnt a good idea, and im now starting to beleive it. But I still want to see pictures of lowered Evos.

Here we go again, Mike and his endless suspension thread links. We need to make a thread and call it "SmikeEvo suspension thread links". And fill it with all the worthwhile threads that you have posted in or that have good info. Lol
But yes it is a very good read.

^ That's actually a really good idea.

The stickys for this forum could use a lot of cleaning up.

Yes they could, i have been reading through alot of them lately and there seems to be more "useless" (read un-helpful chit chat) than before.
