For the dealers this must be the easiest sell ever!!!!!
In some aspects this car has a monopoly on the market, though of course it does have one competitor! The STi

Lowered springs? - I am also looking into lowering the car, probably Eibach progressive rate springs approx $650 (not fitted).
May be worth looking at the UK lancer site for comments on those that have done it - seems to be a mix bag of whether or not it is a good idea. In particular a link to an article on the UK site re lowered springs is attached...

Like to know what you think - why Pedders?

Welcome to the buyer's arena. As far as i know, your dad is no 1 in the Skipper's que, but as you said it all comes down to what they have available now.
So, do you get the WRXy at the same moment as the Evo lands in the house? Maybe we'll all be Skippers on the same day - fingers crossed.
mmmm, MOTEC figures on the Evo look very very nice...
Keep on Rocking...

Not telling you how to suck egg's, but I think that would certainly be a better way to go.

Becasue as far as I know, Tein and the like only make coilover kits, for about 2K+!
I don't need something that special for what is only going to be a road car for me, thus a set of Kings/Pedders/Lovells lowered springs with the standard shocks will give me the lowered stance I want without turning the car into a jiggling mess, ala the 6.5
Any further comments?
