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.

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

I just tires. General Exclaim UHP I got them for a pretty good deal through work so whatever. lol.

I was planning on doing rims this year but I don't think I am yet. I just dropped $1000 on a new camera lens so I dunno

It's not that bad actually. A little rough but bearable.

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.

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.

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.

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?
