From what I understand, Vividracing is putting a suspension on his new white Evo today! Check their web site for more info.

He has imported parts from Japan now (from the VII).

Actually, those are just shipping spacers. If they haven't been removed yet, they need to be. Those are suppose to be taken out on PDI, as stated by a thing in the windshield of the car.

I'd be hesitant to make any serious changes to the car's suspension which is simply awesome in standard form. It's not at all like the WRX or just about any other production car I can think of that is softened and dulled down to account for the lowest common denominator. I suspect little more than a good custom alignment will bring the best out of the EVO as far as handling goes. We've spent thousands of dollars (not to mention thousands more of R&D dollars) trying to get other cars to drive as well as the stock EVO.
Just my 2c,

Don't go lowering it just for the look. That's not what these cars are about.
If you must do this then think about it as part of a well rounded suspension upgrade.
