where are you looking, this is all over rrm page postes two of them and i'am sure you do a search and find the other.


Lowers car front- 1.3 inches

Lowers car rear- 1.1 inches
on the eibach

Will lower you car 1.5 inches all the way around. It still leave your car high enough not to kill your stock shocks! ES springs will lower your car 1.7 inches all the way around.

on the progress

sooo

Not just with the lancer, but with many other cars. I have had friends not like the drop because you get 1 inch or less. They were dissapointed and went on to another brand.

aren't those the actual real coilover system. those would be the best but also over a grand. I would love to have real coilovers, but damn 1200 bucks.

Progress and Eibach are similar. Progress is tiny bit lower. Everyone seems to like them looks wise, ride wise and handleing wise. No complaints from customers and no dead shocks!!

It just depends on what kit you get.....my eibach kit lowered like 1.8 on my spyder.....you got the pro kit, the sport line and the launch type kits...not sure if they make each one for the lancer tho

Tein S-Tech's are the actual springs.

Tein SS Damper set is the full set-up for $1150.00 off of RRM.
