not all evo springs are meant for bilsteins. for example, swift makes 2 different sets, one for MR and one for non MR for that reason. however, evo 8 and evo 9 have the same ct9a chassis. not sure of negative cosequenses of eibachs for gsr going on bilsteins...then again lowering springs arent really good for our shocks anyway. was ur VIII an MR?

There is only 2 springs out there that are meant for the mr: the swift and works. Just make sure its the one for the MR becuase they make it for both MR and non MR

Yes the Eibach prokit for the EVO8 will work on the EVO9 as they are the same design and use the same struts (same chassis CT9A). They were designed for the KYB shocks on the EVO8 RS and GSR which is the same as the KYB shocks on the EVO9 RS and GSR. The EVO 8/9 MR use Bilstein shocks with slightly different spring rates ...
