I'm very happy with my H&R's! They are everything you want out of a DD coilover. When you aren't going over any bumps they feel like stock coilovers. I'm dropped about 2.5inches all around and I've noticed less body roll. I am currently on Blizzaks so nothing exciting, but I'll have more to report when the summer tires go back on!

For completeness sake, it needs to said that an Evo X that has been dropped 2.5" really, really needs front roll-center correction. If the OP is planning on dropping his or her car by anything close to this much, I strongly suggest WhiteLine's kit ... do it all at the same time.

That number is probably incorrect.

Here is a picture! (Sorry for phone quality)

The car in the pic above is right on the line between needing and not-quite-needing roll-center correction. It would definitely help, but if you're not throwing R-compounds on every other weekend, it might not be worth the hassle. YMMV.

The rule of thumb is this: if your lower front lateral control arm angles up from the chassis to the knuckle, you need to correct the roll center height. If it's flat, you're on the line. If it goes down from chassis to knuckle, you don't need it.

Well thats pretty much the exact height i want, although i will put the whiteline rca in at the same time. There only $200 here in AUS, so might aswell.

Looking to get H&R coilover for my daily-driven Evo too. Any more real-world reviews? Pros and cons?
