swift springs for the evo which will lower the car and give you some nice handling. Also the whiteline bushing kits - these are very cheap and very effective. the ones to get are the steering precision kit, bump steer kit and roll centre kit, along with the rear bump steer kit.

hope this helps

I have swift springs and I love it. Not just lowers the car but it makes the handling so much better than stock IMO.

Just need to trim the bump stops depending on the spring.

Hey boss, did you trim your bumpstops w/ the swifts????

My brother did the previous install and I'm not sure if he did. I know I told him too.
I'll be re doing my springs and my white line balljoints again.
