coilovers?
erm ... seem to be about the same as KW Variant 2 or Fortune Auto coil overs (closer to the KW's in design). Those are 1 way adjustable w/ the adjustments taking place on the rebound side.
The biggest difference is Eibach's site doesn't list any of their coilover kits for the Ralliart or base Lancer. Eibach only lists springs and camber kits for the Ralliarts.

Eibach does not have coilovers for the RA...yet.
A well known suspension shop in So-Cal (Mueller) is currently making a custom set of Eibach's for RRE's RA. It's slotted to be completed mid-September. From my understanding it's not intended to be a item you can order from Eibach, so much as a custom Eibach set-up for RA from Mueller (if anyone is unfamiliar, Mueller is well known for customized suspension set-ups using KW, JIC, and Ohlin).

Terry over at Forune Auto recomended I get the 500 with swift springs over the 510 with basic springs for a daily driver with a few track days a year. My budget is 1500 so both are an option. Decision ..decisions
Ssteveojr, did your coilovers ever arrive? I couldn't wait
and ordered the FA500's 8k Front / 7k rear, stock springs with roller bearings. I figured I could always go with stiffer swifts later on. It's hard to beat at 1150 shipped.

sorry for not posting my results about the KW's. they came in and i put them on about a week and a half ago. all i can say is u really do get what u pay for. was painful having to spend that kind of money but once u get them on and feel the ride and performance u will know where your money went. i got about 2 and a quarter drop in the front and about 1 and 3 quarters in the back. i wanted to get a nice deep drop while retaining the functionallity of the coiloever and without having to roll my finders. one thing to keep in mind is with these coilovers is they do have some camber adjustability to them but not as much as some of the other types ive seen. personally i dont like having my tires dorked inward. a slight camber for performance yes but not to the point it wears out my tires twice as fast and really i think it looks pretty stupid IMO. but thats just me. so i was able to keep the factory camber setting for the front tires but the back ive had to order an adjustable rear camber bar to get the camber back to .5 neg as the oem one isnt adjustable. Agency power, white line and magan seem to be the only ones that ive seen online and each call the part by a dif name. ranging from 120.00 to 400.00 $. u will also need an alighment. took it to a respected align guy to see if he could get the camber back to where it needed to be without having to order the extra part. onlyh way to know was to get it alighned. was able to get the camber to about neg 1.5. so had to get the part....so part just came in and will be taking it back to get installed and one more alignment. so this has cost some money but the camber bar im putting in should add a little more rigidity to the suspension which is a plus, along with the eibach anti roll kit i also had installed. i thought the car cornered well before but its even sharper now. corners i could bang around 45mph i can now hit around 50-52mph before feeling the tires begin to lose traction. hope this helps anyone who is looking into suspension or the KW's. will post some pics when i get the chance. one more thing. i hear people talking about clunking noises from their coilovers. i dont get none of that and the ride feels WAY better then stock. its stiffer then stock but thats how i like it and can be adjusted even softer if need be. when i travel over bumpy roads or hit pot holes it doesnt feel like my dash board and glove box is going to explode like ive seen in other cars lowered on crap coilovers. do it right the 1st time and spend the money. u will be glad u did....will post some pics soon.
