Welcome and enjoy your ride!
Thanks And yeah, I think that I will probably leave it at stock height... I can just see myself doing a lot of unnecessary damage if I lower it lol

And I love taking road trips so just throw me a PM when you guys have something planned.

Thanks for the welcome! I do love my car and am going to try and get as much use/enjoyment out of it for as long as I can. An Evo will be in my future someday, I will make that sh** happen!

It's because sometimes people just act like a bag of dicks and want to ruin things for others.

I knew somebody that tinted his windshield down to like 10%. I never understood how he drove with it at night or how he saw anything, but it did look good. He owned a tinting company so I guess when you have the extra time you'll try anything lol

I'd tint my windshield if I could. But not at 10%, unless I wanted to die.

I'm tinting the windows today actually, I think I'll invest in an Angel Eyes kit, a side plate bracket maybe a new exhaust or muffler and call it a day. Thanks for your honest opinion Oh, and I love the color too! I scored on this car and got a great deal at work when it was traded in so overall I'm pretty happy with it.[/QUO


Hey no problem. I bet its gonna look great! The angel eyes will definitely set the car off. You should buy some lowering spring maybe inch and half.
Wont make the car too lower but the lancer and the evo sit too high stock. You can get a decent set of lowering springs brand new for around 200 and some change.
When it comes to lowering a car, I'm a noob. But I've heard that just throwing springs on is bad for the OEM shocks. Is that true? Or does it not matter? Some people have even said it will be unsafe to do without buying aftermarket shocks too because it throws off the traction you have. Idk if any of that is true so I'd appreciate an explanation if you could give one. thanks!
