Took them to Gingerman last monday and they were great! I will be planning to go to Grattan in October, track with more elvevation changes, and see if they bottom out or anything like that. They are great springs for the price, even for daily driving. Here's a pic before track school, friend's yellow Evo is stock suspension.

Here's another pic with another friend's monster red Evo with the stock suspension.

Hotchkis spring kit is one of the best kits out there. Surprisingly not alot of people ask for them - but those who know do. We always stock Hotchkis springs for the Evo, they come with new bump stops even. Great kit all around.

Do springs screw up your suspensions? Would dealers void your mod with that?

A dealer can and in most cases WILL use ANY aftermarket as an excuse to deny any warranty work. Springs are designed to improve the suspension not "screw" it up.

you already have KYB's stock!
I have probably 10K miles with my setup and the car still feels fine. I don't expect the stock struts to last super long, but someone will always upgrade, so just buy them used if they ever get bad.
