Hi Guys, I want to lower my SX Lancer what spring would you suggest. I want to go about 25mm around. I want to a reasonable ride. Can't wait to hear your suggestions

For that minor of a drop I would suggest king springs I think they are like a 35mm front drop and 30mm rear drop or something.

The closest you're going to get to a 25mm drop all around is the WORKS lowering springs which drop 1.1 inch all round. Check out the link below:

seeing everyone's screaming I'll put my ear plugs in before I type this..............................................


Anyhow I have pedders sport rider springs cost around $650 fitted and it's supposed to be a 35mm drop.

Great handling, the ride is more rougher but thats to be expected.

Personally I'm happy with the height, but not the ride.

Alls good mate all in fun,I'm personally not sure about the lovells however I have heard good reports of them :) Some spring brands maybe stiffer than others. Eibachs are suppose to be one of the best brands as they claim a softer ride :)

Cheapest is still to scan eBay and buy from the US. If you're forced to buy it in Australia, get it from Eibach's Australian distributor:

Also there is now Eibach Direct
