The kit is not available for the Evo yet. It is not a universal fitment.

In order to make that work, there would need to be a mounting point in the engine bay and a mounting point on the underside of the hood. I have seen the one for the Impreza WRX and it appears to have a ball joint on each end. It's just a matter of time before Tein mathematicians devise the perfect length and strength of the shock. In the meantime we just have to be patient.
