They're great for giving you the "dropped" look if that's what you want, but they are too soft and lower the car too much to give an improvement in handling.

The Teins are probably the worst springs you can purchase for your car. Look into the Swift springs as a good alternative. There are several others as well, just do a bit of research on the forums.

+1. Tein springs are terrible for the Evo. Look into Swift or GT Worx springs. Not a drastic drop but preserevs or increases handling

They are fantastic!! You really should do yourself a favor and search before making threads that are gonna get locked or flammed anyway.. Buy Swift or Worx if you are going to do only springs..

This.

Too low, too soft - kill struts, kills handling.

Swift, GTWorx, Robi = great springs.

The drop is alright, but the springs rates are too soft my taste.

Drop is too low for the struts. Creates zero travel ability.
