eye heart springs + shocks!
Progressive springs are the bomb, even on the stock shocks they improved the ride on my evo (I have eibachs). Now paired with the set of bilstein MR's I got used (low mileage) the car rides freaking awesome, but still handles very respectably. If I ever got into more competition, I'd defenitely consider the swifts, even the -R's...matt's car rides extremely nice now, and no danger of das breakage:
Plus, we live in MN. Think about all the junk that can get into all of those grooves coilovers have!
Even high-end coilovers use non-progressive springs, right? I just can't fathom how they can ride uber nice.
