I would like to buy a set of Tein S Tech Lowering Springs for my 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution 8, running with the factory 17x8 +38 wheels with 235/45/17 tires. What would be the fender gaps in the front and rear with the factory struts? two fingers? Will the front tires rub the inner fender liners and/or fender lips when you crank all the way to the right and left. Please advise.

 

Tein springs are too soft for the stock suspension. Swift springs are the way to go for Evos. There are plenty of reviews of swift springs and tein springs

 

Tien are terrible

I have a set of brand new Espelir lowering springs that I will sell cheap. They were one of the best options back in the day but have been discontinued for quite some time. SosoEvo has them on his car and loves them. Here is what his car looks like with them.

 

Agree with the above, Swift springs are the way to go. I've had them on the my car for 80k miles and they never get old!

 

Yeah I had the Tein s tech on my car back in the day and the front is too low. They will quickly ruin your struts. And to answer the question about rubbing. You won’t have any issues with stock wheels.
