The EVO VII I drove had full suspension upgrades and a very low drop with [I wanna say approx] 40 series tires and it handled much betterr than the STI I drove with similar mods but was nothing spectacular. The acceleration was very impressive but even with the upgraded sway bars, braces, struts etc it still had some pretty nasty body roll. Basically felt like a turbo corolla tho the STi was much worse. If I have to pay someone to do it i really crave driving a real ST-205. Just looking at the engineering of it I can see where it would handle soooo much better. I have driven ST-165 and ST-185 and they werre very impressive. ST-165 seemed very slow tho - even in the late '90's when I drove it.
