LOLOL...I didn't really pay much attention to where you lived. Anyway, the drop looks sweet to me. I really will consider the GC's if the springs I found brand new for dirt cheap don't come thru. Thanks for the pic though. 

No problem. Once aligned I should be good to keep it that height, I hope. I'll post up some more photos once it warms up a bit and I can comfortably get out.
Thanks for the compliments too, I like the way it sits as well. Any lower is just too much around here.

It's not a McPherson setup where everything connects to the strut; ours are independent from basically everything else other then the knuckle.

Hey stockley, did you just get new tires or new wheels and tires? If wheels, what specs?

It's not that bad actually. A little rough but bearable.Originally Posted by keithislegit
How was the ride at that height?

Rubs at 75% lock going forward and roughly 60% in reverse. It only seems to be rubbing on a push in clip in the fender liner so I am thinking it can be fixed fairly easily.Originally Posted by roblaza
Any rubbing?

No camber kit yet. The car is raised back up now till I get one because I don't want to ruin my new tires too much.Originally Posted by keithislegit
Also, are you using a camber kit?

Those are your stock struts right? I wonder how they will hold up once you have the drop on them.

I can almost gaurauntee that they won't last. A drop like that will demolish those stock shocks. I am already looking at getting new ones, GR-2's more then likely, so I am not to worried.Originally Posted by kapitolralliart

Hey stockley,I'm lowering my 03 Lancer and I've lowered it successfully except when ever I turn the front two sleeves and springs spin which causes a weird spring popping noise, any ideas of what's going on?Originally Posted by stockley1234
