Coilovers or New struts and springs?

On my suspension-wise bone stock Evo VII, I felt exactly that: the car would skip over the bumps. I´m rebuild the engine, and after the car is fine, I´ll start looking for suspension mods. The roads around here are awful, so I would be nice to have a better ride with better handling. The only drawback is the price, since I live in Brazil and Bilsteins are heavy and expensive.

anyone looking for some HDs can try shockwarehouse.com
they have a pretty good price. But after 2 weeks with no info about the order I placed, I talked to them today and they say they have a shipment coming in tomorrow and mine will be on their way to me then.
no advice...just patiently waiting for my new HDs so I can slap my spec Rs on them and get aligned. One of my fronts are currently questionable. And 2 wks of down time wont work right now for me, so I ordered new ones and will have a "winter" set that may get rebuilt at some point.

I might need to give them a call and see what's up

shockwarehouse charged my account yesterday and they said they wouldnt until they shipped. No confirmation though. May give them a call today for tracking. But hopefully they are on their way.

I just did the fronts, though. Still going to run my stock MR bilsteins on the rear. Maybe they are still waiting on the rears??

I was reading online the other day, from one of the car mags, a GSR vs MR comparison. Well the GSR was faster through the cones even though the MR had the then new aluminum roof. They attributed this to the stiffer GSR suspension.
