Eibach Springs Are Available
Just as a side note, having different part numbers doesn't mean they are different. Companies often use different numbers simply for their record keeping purposes.
Best bet is just to call Eibach though, as they should know their own stuff best.

sweet. lowering kit and noise prevention kit with the new bump-stops; eibach did their homework before releasing their goods. definitely breeds trust seeing that they took their time to do it right. im impatiently awaiting installed pics
do most of you guys put your springs on by yourself or do you usually take it somewhere. i usually do all my own work on my cars but i have never changed any springs i do know you need a spring compressor. is there any other special tools??

Here is a how-to by RRM for the fronts and rears on the 08+ Lancer so it should be pretty much the same as the RA. Honestly, I would get a buddy or 2, take an afternoon and do it yourself. Most shops will charge 2-3 hrs labour. Don't forget to get an alignment a week after the install when the springs settle. Can't wait to see installed pics.

This has been discussed before, but yes, you can change them yourself.
A spring compressor will make your job a lot easier and safer (especially if you're doing the install alone) but it can be done without one if you like to live dangerously.
IIRC the guys in the RRM video do it without a compressor. They're only like $30-50...worth it I think.

Springs are installed!! My Tech did it 1 Hour and 45 Minutes that is including cleanup time...With a Lift, Power Tools and Spring Compressor.
The Drop is great for someone that uses it for everyday driver and wants a clean looking drop. There is a noticable difference in handling. The Car feels better and looks better. My Tech has a wheel alignment machine in his shop too and said the ride is not bad there is an improvement in feel and handling he will check aligment in a few days after the springs settle in. I will have pics posted tomorrow or friday. It is too dark to take pictures.

Thank you...I drove it from Ft.Lauderdale to Boca Raton to work this morning which is about 50 minute drive...on 95... Handling is smoother, a tad bit softer,more flowing when cornering and turning...and more fun to drive...the ride quality i think is better than Stock...I plan to push it this weekend so I will give my feedback on that this sunday..The ralliart should of came with these springs from factory I think alot of ralliart owners would of been happy with it for an everyday driver for work and play.
My first impression is as expected...good set of springs for a Daily Driver where you need a bit more handling without giving up comfort too much...
I will try to have Pics posedt later this evening or if not tomorrow morning...
