Suspension help.

I know that there's a sticky post about the different ride heights in the show and shine forum. I'm just curios if somebody could give me a few suggestions on what might be best for my set up. I have a 2006 MR, stock bilstiens, and sway bars. I'd like to get it as low as possible on just springs, without having to cut them. Any suggestions, or experiences?

Swifts or GTWorx. Read those threads. You cannot slam an Evo.

Will do. I'm not trying to have my tires tucked, just a good ride height with little to no gap in the fenders.

I see that you live in salt lake city and then saw that you wanted to go with just springs. Wise decision my friend, I've seen too many coils seize or break down from the salt on the roads during the winter.

But yeah definitely have some gap, you'll be thankful after doing winter doriftos, if you know what I mean

I sure do. And this is my daily, so it's going to see a lot of salt. I guess I'll just have to deal with a little gap, because I'm not buying coilovers again. Made that mistake with my STI.
