Get better springs. Search and read - worst springs you can put on an Evo.

You cannot slam an Evo. Here are some links I suggest reading:

Suspension Discussion Thread Links

And springs are not worth skipping. A proper spring will handle better than a cheap coil-over.

Swifts lower -1.4 up front and -0.8 in the rear.

Swift Spec R's Reviewed!!!

s-techs were hands down the worst springs for subaru's...handling wise. they're drop was really dramatic and had a soft bouncy ride.

What uninformed advice that is.

The rates are virtually identical. Why not do some research before using your position to influence members.
