I'm not looking for some technical explaination. But I'll add my 2 cents...
I think they're all designed with mixed of performance and looks in mind. Some just do it better than others. Mind you, Eibachs and H&R are some of the biggest manufacturers of suspension systems in the world. Ohlins, and numerous other companies, use Eibach and H&R for support and engineering. Suspension is just a subbjective topic, and what's good for one person isn't necessarily good for another. On the Evo, the design of the suspension happens to favor "correct" roll center and motion ratio rather than COG. Further more, the stock shocks, even Bilsteins, do not have a lot of travel, so lowering regardless of rates ultimately hurt the handling. Its not easy for manufacturers to balance all that when car enthusiast wants the best of both worlds, and still within the confines of the stock shock valving. These aren't facts, just one newb's opinion.
Also, carrying 50-60 gallons of fuel in your car on the way to the track doesn't help the car handle well on the street.

Eibach is such a large company that they can afford to make different line of springs from motorsports to hardparking. I think the same can be said for Tein and H&R. If you want their good Eibach stuff, get ready to spend some money. Moton, Ohlins, etc on the other hand only make top notch stuff. We all have different preferences in the way the car handles. Thai likes stiff because that's how he likes it up the butt as well.

Consider yourselves warned.
I hate you.
only retard monkey pay that much for tires that will get destroy on track for no competition purpose. i buy the cheapest tires i can get my hands on if i'm just going to have fun at DE events. alwaysagame
I wouldnt pay that, that's why I'm not buying them. I paid $165/ea for Dunlops last fall (+80 gift card cash back) that was right before the price jump. I'm sure that's less than u paid.. and my tires are better.
So suck it, egotistical retard monkey!
Enjoying P2 at my house, btw. How's work?
i paid $140 for NT05 with half the grip and last double the number of track days, and still get point bys from chu fools. i got about 15 track days on them so far and have at least a few more weekends on them. but i wouldn't drive them on street in the rain though. good think i'm not with team arrive and drive, and aint skrud to swap them at the track.
