Evolution MR Owners ... considering suspension options

What have most of you guys done? I want to make some changes, but do not want to go backwards on handling. I am considering Enduras from AMS, with their stiffer spring rates, or just changing out the Eiback springs with Swift springs, and a bump kit from AMS to keep all aligned.

What have most of you done, and how pleased are you with the outcomes?

Why do you want to change the suspension?

If you are seriously tracking your X, I would recommend talking to Vorshlag. They're working on a track-ready suspension kit for the X, and they have an MR as the test car. Their AST suspensions are supposedly amazing.

As some one who was average over 100 track days a year, do you really wonder if the car will see track duty? It will see light track duty, but nothing serious for a couple years. However I think I am going to go with Ohlins from AMS with cornerweighting and some bracing for the chassis. Also, I considering 15in brakes., and moving the Brembos to my 95 Cobra R.

Thanks all....

I just ordered some Swift springs. I wanted to close up the wheel gap and give my Evo a slightly more aggressive stance. After seeing LVSBB6's thread I decided Swift was the way to go.
