Worth it?

So I recently bought a 2017 Mitsubishi lancer and I wanted to ask is it worth the time money and effort to modify the car like performance and cosemtics?

Hey, welcome aboard

If the EvO is your weekender, for sure, modifying is well worth it & really enhances all aspects (performance & cosmetics)

If youre DD'g your EvO, modding may not be the best or a least only to a certain degree

BTW, most of us here ,on the boards, are pretty much in a contact mode of Mod

You hang w/us, its likely youll catch the bug

Well, for sure, some modding can be done to make it more personal. Hey, My daily is a 2012 Scion XB (toaster replica). Im on coilovers, front & rear sway bars, open intake & eliminated one of the CATS & exhaust. Its a blast to DD. BTW, i run my old stock EVO wheels on it (haha)

On your Lancer, a set of coils, CAT back & wheels & tires will give it a more athletic feel

Nah, thats a super high level modification & would be extremely costly. Be better just to wait for the real deal & get an EvO when youre ready

Yeah, go for the coils & the Volks. Look at Swift or GTworx for your springs vs the Teins
