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.

Did you get the KYB local?

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!!!

I got some vogtland on my 06 im selling but where you located ?

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.
