There's a guy on Kijiji selling Brand new Evotion springs for like $60. I bought a set when he had them at $50 and Honestly they are great springs. The ride quality is very nice. They used to go for over $200 brand new but Evotion went out of business and this guy picked up some liquidated products from them. I believe they were actually made by Vogtland from Germany.

So did you install them on your car ? If so , did you have to change the shocks too , or you kept the ones you have ? What car do you have ?

Yeah I already installed them with a set of KYB AGX's and couldn't be happier. I would recommend changing your dampers no matter which lowering springs you go with as they'll blow sooner than later and may affect ride quality.

When I installed my Eibach Pro Kit springs I didn't switch my struts. I have the original 02 dampers and everything has been fine (touches wood). But the proper way to do the job would be to replace the struts at the same time. I have just over 160K on my struts and about 25K on the springs.

Pro Kit FTW!!!

00-05 stuff will fit, but you need to replace shocks front shocks and get the adapter kit fro massive speed systems to do this, mind you it is a good thing to do as it opens up your possibilities to all that is available for the previous generation... which is a lot by comparison to 06-07

No I shipped them in from a guy in Alberta. He bought them last year but crashed his car and never got a chance to install them. I gave him $400 + $80 for shipping for them and they were still sealed in their boxes brand new never touched.......basically a steal of a deal.
