Ralliart spring for the Evo???

Is anyone using these with the stock shocks? What do you think of them? And where did you buy them? Thanks

i've heard you can get them from mitsu dealers that are certified to sell ralliart parts.

i am going to call a couple local dealers and see if i can confirm this. ideally though i would like to buy them off anyone but the stealership, but i haven't seen them in any of the onlines stores.

ok. i have called all 3 mitsu stealerships in my area and no one even knows what i am talking about.

the one told me they could get me lowering springs, but only things like eibach.

then they both asked me why i would want the springs off of a ralliart lancer for my evo, and i had to explain to them that i am looking for springs made by ralliart for the evo, and no one had any clue what i was talking about.

i've also searched google and can't seem to find them either. if anyone could point me in the rght direction i would appreciate it.

www.gruppe-s.com sells them ... according you the spring rate chart they lower the car by 1/2 inch but from what the vendors have said the springs don't actually lower the car at all but keep the ride height the same ??? That's the one thing that confuses me ...

I've looked for a while now, I dont' think there are Ralliart springs. I've even checked Japanparts.com

I think there are 3 types of ralliart coilovers you can buy...one of them is on Gruppe-S site, the others are on Japanparts made by Bilstein, and another under Mitsubishi...all costing an arm and a leg.

If you're looking for springs properly valved to stock shocks, you can try to buy HKS Kansai springs or Works springs...those are the ones I read that are fairly adjusted...HKS Kansai can be bought @ japanparts.com.

no point in messing with springs. your strut rate can't handle the springs, mr or regular.

save up and get coilovers.

I looked into Ralliart springs myself. From what I did find out the springs are about the same spring rate as stock yet give a 1/2" drop all around. The local Mitsu dealer I went to when I lived in PA is a Ralliart dealar - (717) 846-2222 ask to speak with Derek. I had the part numbers, I'll have to see if I can find them. They were a special order.

You may also want to check out Works springs and there SS1 Perf. Package - www.worksevo.com The springs are very close to the "Ralliart spring". They drop the car the same amount all around as well.

I found a Japanese site where you could order just the springs, the part number and everything was listed. I'll have to see if I can find it.

The shop I went to in York also won the Ralliart Evo - the Red Ralliart Evo linked off of Mitsu web site, with all the Ralliart parts, CN28s, etc. http://www.yorkmitsubishi.com/en_US/f_MiscPage_3.chtml

I then starting liking the Works springs/SS1 package myself. Still may get them some day. The price for the Ralliart spring was nuts from what I remember.
