Definitely get the rear sway-bar first. What did Vishnu have to say about their Ohlins setup?

They said that is the best they have tried. They went through Tein, JIC, and Cusco. Ohlins are more of a "professional" coilover. They do plan to get something to the market for less then $2000 by this summer.

I have an Evo VII and have the Cusco 02r setup and love them. THey are a very flat non- bouncy suspension, and when you torque down the setting to 5 it becomes very stiff. I also have front rear upper lower sway bars. They help out tremendusly. The car is so much more predictable. I have also ridden in a vehile that has ohlins and they are the nicest most agressive suspension i've encountered.

one thing that will make a big difference in handling charectoeristics is weather or not the coilovers are monotube design or not

Wow, those Motons will go for cheap I bet! Beautiful and functional, but man are they hard on the old wallet.

I just installed a set of ohlins w/ 350/425 spring rates front/rear. i have camber plates in the front, and have 18x9s w/ 255/35-18 pilot sport 2s. i drove the car for the 1st time yesterday on bad NE roads and with the shocks on full soft the ride is firm, but definitely less harsh than stock, with better body control, and less roll. overall i am very pleased with the suspension so far...i only drove 20 miles and took a few off ramps at 7/10s. I will auto-cross the car on the 9th, and get a better feel for it then.
