*CLOSED* Lowering Springs Group Buy

[Cottonfoot]

From my experience with lowering springs on our cars is they are not very good. Our airdams are at awkward positions which means they scrape very very easily. I'm considering putting the stock springs back in while I wait for coilovers.

Your not happy with your Kings?

In asnwer to daveee,

I chose the

2008+ Mitsubishi Lancer Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs
1.2" Front drop
0.8" Rear drop

vs

2008+ Mitsubishi Lancer Tein S-Tech Lowering Springs
2.1" Front drop
1.9" Rear Drop

So if we're already having a problem with lowering, I didn't want the ones with the most massive drops.

I would also say I agree that coil overs would be the best way to go but the pricing is a different league:
Eibach Springs: A$490 delivered + A$200 install + A$55 alignment = A$745.00
Coilovers = A$1,000+ to begin with for the part?

I suspect I can get away with the Eibach Pro Kit without too much scraping... .

I am looking for this car to take me 5 years. 1 year down so far, 4 more to go so coilovers may be abit of any overkill for me then.

I don't see myself making it big on the financial front and with the need to start a family, funds will be needed elsewhere so I can conservatively hope to be in a position to buy the next Olympic Edition Lancer in 3 years time as an update en route to Evo11 or Evo12. Provided Mitsu survive till then.

I'm so in.. im sick of my temp lowered spring (reset).. ride height is way too uncomfortable..
when can we order? Eibach Pro-Kit !!

Following the delivery of the GReddy exhausts, the same dealer would like to discuss a deal for the eibachs. Same problem we come back to. If we buy from the US, we pay around A$350 each (group shipped). However, there's no warranty.

If we buy local, it's A$490 delivered to your own place and warranty is in tack.

We still can't work out which one is worthwhile. I'm tending towards the local purchase.

i was more leaning to local purchase.
$490 is a is still without a doubt a very good price!
Plus delivered to your own place!

I'm just wondering - would it be better to lower the back more than the front? coz our rear end is kinda high...

Yeah, Ryan_C could be the one to explain this. Why are these lowering springs done this way where the back is less than the front?

[krz]

yay, how many ppl required for the $490 deal?
