im running a set of 18 inch rims on my ra with 205/35 r18 nankang nsII rubber. my dilema is i had an es 04 lancer before and purchased the progress springs for it. out of sheer curiosity i looked into swapping the springs for it to my new ra. im no tech so i went to quite a few reputable shops in my area and the consensus from that is the springs will fit b/c the perches are the same size, that being said it looks like my rear fender is gonna rub the tire like a motherfl*cker b/c of the inside lip on it. can this be done with my tires? will the springs work? do i have to roll my fender? god im confused!?!?!?!?

 

dude WTF.... Ive told you over and over. just throw the springs you got in there and see what happens. Stop winning about it and just do it.. GOD, hell alright... today after work, come over my place, we'll knock it out in an hour. Stop being a *****

 

you can lower the car and still run 18's. i do, and i have no problems. my tires are 215/35 and they have never rubbed. however, i'm not sure that the springs for an ES will fit the ralliart. i've heard that only the LS and OZ springs will fit the ralliart. hope this helps some.

 

I told you *****. damn.

 

I heard that they are different all together... ES is alone... OZ and LS have their own... and RA has their own... but I don't really know anything so don't take my word for it

 

see i was told that the es was the same as the oz which is the same as the ra
can anybody help? i think evokiller and i are just gonna put em on and see what the hell happens

 

ya I honestly think they will go in. like springs are springs. The V6 mustang use different rates then the GT's. but if you put any sportlines, they are standard across the board. I think we'll be fine.

 

i hope so, we'll just have to wait and see

 

that's what i had always assumed, but i was just letting you know what i've heard people say. i don't know, i hope it works out for you though. it'll save you a little money at least.

 

money aint no object.. hes a highroller.. throws the dice overhand and bets it all on red

 

must be nice, lol.

 

just make sure they seat right or you'll be busting struts

 

eh. well **** hit the fan. I pulled the right front strut to check it first.. they are different. oh well. I guess its knowledge for us and you guys

 

it's good to know now, but too bad it didn't work out for you. i wasn't too sure it would. are you gonna get the tein or progress springs for the RA now? or just keep the stock springs in?

 

yeah sucks but i think im going with the progress ones had real good things to say about them when they were on the es i just hope it goes good from now on....and by the way the final word is es springs DO NOT FIT ON RA'S (now what about air ride?....hm.......it could happen if.................)
