Suspension Setup
I'm looking for the best Suspension setup for my 2006 Evo 9. I'm looking for something with 5 star handling but is also comfortable driving on the street everyday. I'm leaning toward a Tein setup but i don't know which one is the best.
Can some of you guys help me out here?

Spring spec-Rs are really nice. good enough for daily driving or even going to the track/autocrossing once in a while. nothing hardcore tho...
someone mentioned Greddy typeS coilovers... also a decent streetable coilover.

Get a good alignment, and make sure you get parts from someplace that can help you set them up and provide good technical support. Especially if you get coilovers

I think I would also add front camber plates to the medium/"baller-lite" list, too...
Add camber plates to a Swift/Bilstein setup and you have suspension that will outperform most bargain-basement, pick-a-color coilover setups, especially since the general design of a Bilstein damper is pretty flexible in terms of damping.

^ Agreed, camber plates will be great....especially if you auto-x. 
Bilsteins, a good spring, bushings, and camber plates are a fantastic set-up that still has great ride quality, reliability, and consistency.
