EVO 8 coilover adapter for 3S?

[SHADES TREGO 88]

Has anyone used or seen this product in use before? It seems like an extremely good idea but I'm not 100% for sure and I'm curious to see what you all think.

Yeah some people use it. It opens up a much bigger selection of coilovers. I haven't heard anything negative about it.

Alright, good. Do you think I would need to buy stiffer springs or a higher spring rate to compensate for our car's extra weight?

see post in your other thread.

I'm running the adapters and EVO 8/9 Apexi S1 coilovers. I love it. Much better than the Tein, K-Sport, and Megan options for a comfortable street ride.

Depends on how far you want to go with it. You can get used coil overs on the cheap, but they may need to be rebuilt. Plus the adapters. it's a way to get in way over your head in a hurry with cost and you need to make sure that what you get works for all facets of your driving. An ultra slammed car may look nice but is miserable if you've got crappy roads or encounter speed bumps a lot. A set of springs would be a much quicker way to drop and improve appearance and handling without the cost.

If you really want to run Evo coilovers, there is debate about spring rates you want, but there is another thread discussing it on the forum as to what the ideal spring rates to use may be. The Apex'i S1 coilovers that Turbo runs are supposed to be one of the best options for a street driven car.
