What coilover suspension does everyone recommend? Are there camber kits available for EVOs yet?

Depends what your application (racing, auto-x, street) and budget are. The Tein Flex are popular and can be had for well under $2k. The Road Race Engineering customized JIC FLTA2s can be had for right around $2k. In the low-mid $2k range, the Zeals or Ohlins are a good choice.

I have the Zeals from WORKS and love them, and like Tam says it all depends on what you are using your car for.

WORKS sells some nice camber plates for the stock struts.

Thanks everyone...I plan to use the car 90% of time for street. Would the Tein Flexs be my best choice based on my usage?

I think the Tein Flex are not a very good choice for the street. They feel harsher than the coilovers I have experienced - Zeal and Ohlins.

I run the Tein Flex's with the EDFC, and 95% of the time the street ride is fine. Big potholes really suck, and things like freeway underpasses are a little harsh, but they aren't too bad. Plus I can get a good deal on them if your interested. I'm sure we'll see you at a meet sometime, so if you don't have a setup by then, you can ride in my evo and see how you like it compared to the others members who are running ohlins or zeal, both of which are also great setups.
