Sub $1500 Coilovers
My EVO is a DD which does not see the track or strip so I can't justify $2500+ for a name brand suspension.
Bought my EVO IV with Function & Form coilovers which are shot (car rides like a boat). My mechanic suggested BC Racing BR Series coilovers for my budget. Are they "better"?

fortune auto are the only ones i'd buy simply based on the fact that they are us-based and will rebuild them i believe
that said, i dont plan on getting rid of my bilsteins but i will be having them rebuilt in the near future

Thanks guys I hadn't heard of FA so I researched and I've decided to get a set of 500s Gen6. Most of what I've read shows a lot of people running 8k front 10k rear with and without an upgraded rear sway bar. The sales rep at FA suggested 8k all around.
Dilemma...

My FA setup is the 510's at 10K/12K. None of the FA guys, I know, run the squared 8K/8K

FA is as cheap as I would go. Anything less and I'd stay OEM with lowering springs.
8k/8k would be a comfortable ride for around town. Especially since it's your daily. You could go more "performance" but you'll never notice the difference on the street. For daily use, I wouldn't see a point in going stiffer in the rear.

As all said FA500 with Swift Spring Upgrade
Yo can call them and give them your setup and planned use and they will recommend correct spring rate
Off topic damn you FA is bought gen5 in January and 2 weeks later new Gen6 comes out!!!
