personally i would just go koni inserts into lancer struts...do you have stock springs??
(in case you dont know) koni inserts are put in by drilling a hole in the center on the bottom of the factory strut, drain fluid out of strut, around the top of the strut is cut off and a bigger hole drilled in the bottom. The koni insert slides inside old strut and is bolted underneath in hole that was drilled. Tighten bolt up and will pull the koni down and fasten it into the old strut... then is a mater of putting the spring back in with tops....
they are pretty straight forward job to do, and easy
i have a gsr with koni/king springs set up atm, am thinking of coilovers (maybe soon depending finances) but mercurymotorsport.com seem to get springs inserts suspension stuff pretty cheap??

hope it helps
