They are cheap coilovers that are garbage.
-The valving is going to be all over the place
-You'll be lucky if the shocks don't leak within a year
-The spring rates aren't well suited to an Evo
-The spring rates aren't going to be accurate to the advertised rate
-The bearings in the top plates are low quality
-The painted surfaces will chip and flake very easily(not durable)
-The metal used is low grade
But they are $1,000 so maybe you're not expecting much from them. If you want an upgrade, save your money and buy a quality product that has features you can use... and use for years to come.
If you just want to lower the ride height, save your money and buy some Eibachs, H&Rs, insert name of good spring company here

Sorry Evo-Mike.
In addition to posting the pictures I also meant to add this.
The coil overs I have aren't that bad (they lower the vehicle and tighten up the suspension). They are a cheap brand called Posji Tech and they are a knock off of others.
The photos of my car are AFTER I raised it up. this is on their "medium low" setting.
They are hard to adjust properly. (harder than the Tein coil overs I had on my rx7)
They are a lower quality metal.
as low_psi said, the finish on mine is flaking in a few spots.
Good luck with your purchase.
