Lowering Question for all you northern RAs
Hey guys,
I am about to move to Rhode Island. I really want to throw on the eiback 1.2 front and rear shocks, but dont want to make my RA a snowplow. Have any of you guys up north lowered your RA, if so, have you run into any problems with the daily drive?

Yep springs, my bad. Is that a relatively safe setup, I know coilovers are the best way to go, but would I run into any issues with just the eibachs?

nope. Alot of us run the more agressive RRM springs and outside of a bumper top on the coil making noise here and there i haven't seen or had any complaints.
it will wear the shock quicker then the stock height but thats just a fact of lowering a car.

I'm around montreal area in quebec and since september 2009 i dropped the car with those tein s-tech for regular lancer (suppose to be 1.9 and 2.1) and the car weight 200 kilos more than a regular lancer so it's about 2.0-2.1 front and 2.2-2.3 back and no problem in the snow this winter for picture you can see them there

So my options are tein and eibach, would you say eibach is a more stiff spring than tein? I have heard that the teins, once settled, end up dropping quite a bit. I have also heard the eibachs are a little more stiff and performance based, which is really what I am looking for. If you guys know of any other springs with those types of qualities let me know. Thanks

Robispec also makes a spring for the RA that might be a little better than the others.
Coilovers would be best as you know, the BC are the most reasonably priced. I'm leaning towards them myself. Too much of a hassle to be permanently lowered around the area I live in my opinion.

Put the RRM's on my car last weekend and love them. They are pretty stiff and have a sporty feel. You should consider them. I know a lot of guys have them on this site.
