Be extremely careful, I am not making things up, do more reserach and surf evolutionmr.net first to give you a better idea of what other MR owner had run.
Wish you a lot of luck

As far as I know, there are only 2 springs made to work with the MR's Bilsteins.
Works Rally and Swift.
I personally have the Works Rally springs on my MR and I love them.
I strongly advise against any springs that are not designed for the Bilsteins. They are NOT cheap to replace.

If you bought a MR why purchase springs? the MR already comes with Bilsteins! Thats the main reason why most buy a MR is for the Bilsteins and the 6 speed tranny.......

I wouldn't touch S-Techs, ever, period, with ANY Evo.

Botton line, listen to the people that already tried them. If you are obsess with the looks of the drop and really don't care about destroying the expensive MR shocks and wear out the expensive tires then go ahead.
I was one of the first MR owners to do springs and the results were cathastropic, the Tein destroyed my shocks within days, my car was nasty and oily because all the fluid from the shock leaked. My tires worn out within days.
The ride was awful, the car lost all the suspension comfort, the handling was horrible and I started to damage the motor mounts.
I am soo glad I took them back and I put the originals back on..
Honestly, I suggest either don't put the springs at all or buy a nice coilover set.
Another downside is that the cost of installing a set of springs is often more expensive than installing a full set of coilovers and this is based on the fact that you need special tools to compress the springs and all that crap.
Summarizing:
Never get Teins low drop springs for the MR
consider keeping the great stock suspension
upgrade suspension to a coilover set
my .2c
