They also take away from your handling with softer springrates, blowing struts, and ill suspension geometry. You may as well put a big wing out the back. Your car handles worse than stock and now scrapes on most inclines...

I would put your stock springs on and cut them in half. This will give you the ultimate slammed look and best handling from the factory. You will ride on bumpstops all day long and handle like a go kart. You will spank everybody and can say you are stock

 

lol, I spoke with Robi awhile back, and he doesnt like to go too low, most of the time when the car that he tuned the suspension is low is because of the owner.

There's a gap on cars with coilovers because there need to be room for proper suspension travel/ geometry. but again, explaining all that to you isn't worth my time.

IF, LOW ride evo is for you, I'd suggest a custom air bag set-up like some member suggested earlier, but not coilovers. To each its own. just my .02 C

 

air bags.. or if youre cheap load the trunk up with sandbags and cut your springs dawg.

or just buy an old chevy s10 and build yourself a mini truck. law frame all day long.

hope you enjoy hardparking cause your evo is going to handle like chit

 

If you don't care about ride quality or performance, then it doesn't matter what coilovers you pick. It's cool....different strokes for different folks. But really.....you can drop all coilovers pretty damn low, especially if it's dual height adjustable like all asian coilovers i know of.

I suppose a non inverted front would be helpful for clearance since they would have the adjuster on top instead of the bottom where it could hit cv boots or control arms or whatever. It shouldn't matter really.

Check with Stance or BC to see what they recommend....

I'm suprised that I feel like i'm the only person that doesn't like wheel gap .

I'd like the same drop out of my suspension that my s-techs gave me. I don't scrape anywhere either.

 

**** you guys. If the guy wants to tuck his Evo, then let him be. Elitist ******.

 

I dont think anyone here said that they like wheel gaps, they just like handling better than looks. no need for names calling. C

 

I agree wheel gap is not pretty and tucked looks pretty cool... but....

...what many of us are saying is that doing so will have some seriously negative side effects that may not be worth it. You'll have even less wheel travel for soaking up bumps and the steering geometry will be off. It might even be dangerous to drive like that. I don't know.

And as someone said, easiest way to get as low as you want is to just cut the springs. The effect will be the same and way cheaper than coilovers.

Good luck on your decision.

 

I love my KW's; that cadillac ride with the nasty slide...

 

Are you reasonably dropped as well?

Also, im willing to shell out some cash to get a good suspension setup rather than just cheap out and cut my springs

 

Just ask a reputable suspension tuner like Robert Fuller, GTworks or Meuller and they will tell you that a modest drop is the best.

A huge drop is like stuffing a big sausage in your swimsuit. It looks like you mean buisness but when time comes to perform, you end up getting laughed at.

 

wow i love that quote just made my night

 

Lame *** drop meaning lowest drop a coilover system can offer. before you want to drop your evo with lowest drop possible, think about suspension geometry and handling, do you know what's roll center kit, bumper steer correction kit? why those are needed? Look at my signature, why do you think I spend so much money to go with Robispec? you drive an EVO, not a cheap ricer we see on the street with slammed suspension, evo is known for its handling, don't ruin it b/c you just want a drop. Do a research before you want to lower your ride, I've seen many slammed honda with torn bushing b/c they are not properly lowered. Again, if you don't want lame *** drop don't ask for what coilover gives the lowest drop.
