From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Please search on this topic. Here are some things to search for: Swift Sport and SpecR, GTWorx.com, and RobiSpec.

And NO you should not run different springs front and rear just for looks. The springs I have listed above were all specifically engineered for the Evo.

Tein S.Tech. A lot of people bash them but I ran them on my car for almost 30k miles and did quite well in autocross with them. I've since switched to Swift Sport springs and although they ride nicer I miss how my car looked with the S.Techs.

Well they're not the lowest, but I love the look and ride of my Swift Spec R's
Slamming the car to low will negatively affect the handling characteristics.

Like SmikeEvo said, those were all specifically engineered for the Evo!

Well a softer spring is better for drag... So s-tech would be better ...

If your thinking about running s-techs... save yourself the cash and cut your springs
