These look nice! Too bad my KW's didn't come in those colors haha! I'm interested in seeing the reviews on these...
Thumbs up for Evasive and them doing good work on my suspension!

Update!
We just completed street and track testing of the new Evasive Spec. Eibach Multi-Pro R2 Coilovers.
Here are some details of the Evasive Spec Pro-2 Coilovers.
Spring Rate: 16kg/mm & Matched Valving
Target Users: Street / Track Winged S2000 with non-staggered wheels using R-Comps & High End Street Tires
Key Features:
• 16kg/mm or 900lb/in 2.25" I.D. Eibach Racing Springs (ERS) (Non Evasive Version is available at (7.6kg/mm & 7.1kg/mm)
• 10-Way Adjustable Compression Damping
• 7-Way Rebound Adjustable Aluminum Bypass Valve
• Monotube Design
• High Pressure Schrader Valve for Fine Tuning of Nitrogen Pressure
• Large 46mm Hard Anodized Linear Design Piston
Installation:
Install is pretty straight forward. Instructions with pictures are provided to guide you though the install. Unlike most coilovers in the market, the length of the Pro-2 RS is identical to the OEM unit that it replaces. For this reason, I had to push down on the suspension arms to install the unit. The front units have the OEM like attachment for the brake lines built in. Routing the front remote canister through the fender liner and into the engine compartment was the most difficult task during the install.
Recommended Front Remote Mounting Location with Brackets
I decided to mount the canisters above the radiator support instead of mounting the canisters next to the shock tower for better cooling and looks..
Track Testing: Buttonwillow CW13: 5/13/2011
Car Spec:
DF Splitter on OEM Bumper
Voltex/J's Type 1 Wing w/ Gurney Flap
17x9 CE28 & 255/40/17 Hankook RS3
2.2L OEM with OEM Intake (Ram Air) K&N Filter & OEM Exhaust Manifold
70mm EVS Cat-Back Exhaust w/ 60mm Test Pipe
Evasive Spec. Eibach Multi-Pro R2
Eibach Adjustable F&R Swaybars
Spoon Calipers with Project Mu Club Sport Pads
Kazz LSD
Recaro SPG, Cusco Roll Bar with Schroth Harness
Aftermarket Deck, Amp & Speakers & Dynomat
Total: ~7 Points (S2ki Challenge Mod-S)
Evasive was able to arrange two Eibach engineers to come out to BW for some testing at the track. We ran a total of 5 sessions + one session driven by owner of Evasive Motorsports for feedback. The Eibach damper engineer also went on few hot laps as a passenger to evaluate the overall performance. Damper adjustments were made during each session and recorded using the G2X & Video.
Damper Setting 1: Out of The Box: 1:58:9
Damper Setting 2: 1:58.6: Increase in Compression & Rebound
Damper Setting 3: 1:58.1 Slight Changes in Compression & Rebound
18kg/mm Setting 1: 1:58.7 Warmer & Slower Track Conditions
Best Lap: 1:58.149 (Street Tire)
Overall, the Eibach coilvoers works well with a non-staggered track S2000. The spring rate matches the grip level from typical non-staggered setup and its responsive without being too jarring and controllable without being over-damped.
I was able to run my personal best during the test. With each adjustmentI was also able to feel where I gained time and lost time. The compression knobs are easy to adjust with well defined clicks. The rebound adjustment is slightly more difficult to adjust as it requires a needle tool to be inserted at the top of the damper.
My best lap came from both compression and rebound adjustment never having to go over the 50% of the available adjustment range. As a test, we ran compression valving at near max and the suspension movement became very stiff and direct but never lost touch with the road. We also ran a session with slightly stiffer 18kg/mm springs to see how well the dampers perform and felt no loss in damping characteristics.
Pros: Performance, Great damper to deal with berms and surface irregularities even with high spring rate, Lots of compression and rebound travel which makes it very comfortable to drive on the street.
Cons: The adjustment ranges are wide, optimizing both rebound and compression may require some homework, but great for those who want to learn or experience it.
Nice to Have: Possible option for a pillow-ball top hat, Knob instead of needle tool on the rebound adjustment
Summary: Another great option in the market for those who are after adjustability and lap times. One of the strength of this unit is the wide range of dampening adjustment that allows the user to adapt to surface conditions.
