Suggested Springs

I have done much research on here with the search tool and all but nothing is helping me with my decision. I have a 06' evo ix Se that i am looking to upgrade the springs for something to give it a more agressive look but not hurt the suspensions performance. I would like some suggests to see what people like and compare some springs with one another to see whats more likely to be what I would like. Please leave me a post giving me your opinion on whats the best buy for the buck.

I am planning on getting a set of Eibach springs when I can afford to. I have purchased these springs before and I have always loved them. They offer a marginal drop, and no sacrifice in ride quality.

Swift Spec-R. Im surprised SmikeEvo hasnt jumped in here yet. The Swift springs will get rid of the ridiculous wheel-well gap and give it that moderate drop. The ride quality is better than stock and you will notice a difference in handeling. I think a set of those run for about $315. I have them on my evo and I love them. Also, theyre made for use with your stock struts.

If it's your DD then go with Swift.

If it's a track car Tein will be fine.

Tein will make moving around town a lot harder as it has a bigger drop and you'll be scraping everywhere.

pls look in the suspension section - this is a topic that's been beaten down to death

but anyway - personally, i've had springs and coils - ended up with springs with mr shocks and have never looked back - swift springs are def the way to go for a daily driver

Ah wut? Teins are absolute crap on the 8/9 Evos.

Swifts for DD, AX, Track.

See my blog - all my reviews on the Swift products are there.

Contact Andrew at GTWorx.com - he can get you setup!
