$200CDN shipped and taxed?

Eibach is arround that price too

why dont you go to your local shop buy the aftermarket parts?

like im living in vancouver,Canada

Eibach springs is approximately $230CDN after taxed from the shop ( of cuz i dont need to worry about shipping, if i buy from them)

but u already bought it.. enjoy it..

and i heard RRM springs = PROGRESS springs...

so its will be fine as long as its not made by RRM lol

Wow where in Van can u get the Eibachs for that price? Rocket Rally? I had Sportlines for my GTS(didn't get to install them before it got totalled) and they cost me $330 cdn shipped w/ customs from Tirerack and that was the best price I could find. All the shops and dealers I found(in Van and the Okanagan) that could order the Eibachs wanted $450 or more.

I bought the springs from a shop on ebay from kelowna or something like that. which is almost local. Plus, i tried to get a whole package from the guy at lightspeed in red deer. i talked with him on the phone for like an hour, and he was supposed to get back to me with a quote for a bunch of stuff id like to do, including coilovers. but i never heard back from him. so i just threw these springs on for now. I'm seriously debating putting much more money into this car, it doesn't exactly meet my needs now. It's a great daily driver, but i'm not using it for that. blah blah blah life story. lol

you have no idea what you speak of so id be nice if you stopped.

The eibach springs are a less aggressive drop, RRM and tein are really the only one who go aggressive. The RRM springs themselves are nice quality, have good rates, and ride nice, close to stock.

If you have an issue with RRM congratulations, this isnt the place or time to try and use it. Their springs are NOT progress branded, that is called theft and would land RRM in receivership in no time. So please, chill with the chitty chatter over the springs. there is 50+ Ralliarts on here running them with NO issues.

100$ installation is cheap, its usually more in the 250$ range.

All the quality shops I called were asking $300-$380 for spring install. Hourly wise it would be a lot cheaper, but they all had a minimum they would charge regardless of if it only took an hour or not to actually install them.

Not entirely true. The Eibach Pro-Kit is a less aggressive drop but the Eibach Sportlines are 1.7"F 1.6"R and are a pretty aggressve drop, little more then the RRM's and a bit less then the Teins.

i dont have an issue with RRM, because i never have any single piece of RRM stuff on my car

But my friend used to have all RRM products on his GTS,
Crank pulley, swaybar, tussbar(something like that, its at the bottom like swaybar) , SRI , lowering springs, header, exhaust.. (all V1)

he got his GTS in late 07, didnt have much choices on lancer aftermarket parts during that time except RRM

so good thing about RRM is, they released the lancer aftermarket parts so much earlier than the other brands.. also..because of this reason, their product quality was bad due to not enough of time to testing their own product's quality
