If you can get the MR Bilsteins for $700, skip the coilovers and get these with Swifts, a rear sway bar, Whiteline bumpsteer kit, and GOOD BRAKE PADS!!!

Only place I know of is through these or other Lancer based forums ... you gotta find someone with an MR that is upgrading to Coilovers!!

thanks, so you probably wouldn't be able to buy new ones, other than from the dealership? I wonder how much they charge for them.
