    coilovers.

    PRO: adjustable height
    CONS: very harsh ride... harsher than lowering springs.

    pro: you can choose how much to lower the ride height and even adjust the corner weighting of the car.

    con: ride quality will be stiff, uncomfortably stiff. You will feel every single crack and pebble on the road. Long drives will be very tiring.

    Best option: lowering springs (for street use) designed for evo10.

    It'll all depend on the intended use of the coil-overs. While some coil-overs give you an almost unlimited level of adjustability, no amount of shock absorber tweaking will fully make up for a spring that's too hard for road use.

    But seeing as the EVO X already has a pretty rigid set of springs, he could instead go for adjustable shock absorbers... (TEIN with the electronic controller...) and then if he doesn't like the performance, upgrade to coil-overs and sell the shocks... but he should be satisfied with it, unless he drives on the race-track all the time.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    pro:coilovers are(majority) for race track use, adjustable height.

    cons: very pricey and worthless in comfortableness. stiff. worthless because evoX do have a great stock suspension set. maybe save more pepera pera for other upgrades.

    alternatives: aftermarket springs (racing/street may do) and adjustable shocks(gas) or fluid( as i heard, more comfortable ride than gas types, if there are an adjustable fluid shocks)

    goodluck sa project
