sweet put lots of miles in and see how the engine temps go up with the FMIC, during long distance trips, hopefully not much at all

It isn't like RRM did something wrong with those products...v2 is just an improvement on the first generation...it happens. I know in some ways it can be annoying, but think about it like this: Don't you want a company to improve upon their existing product line to make it better? Take a look at the 1953 Corvette...it was a POS (so were the '54 & '55 production models). Now take a look at the 1956 Corvette. See? As time goes on, we get smarter and more innovative, and slowly but surely it works out for the best

Yea i know what u mean. I'm not trying to say RRM is slacking because they definetly aren't, thank god they're coming out with products, i'd be going crazy if not. However I was pretty disapointed to see that they decided to drop the car 1.5 in's everywhere. When I read the reason why Works was dropping the car 1.1 in front and rear it made lots of sense to me. But anyways I'd hate to have to spend $4000 for someting that has a deffect and not getting that deffect fix free of charge. I'm sure everyone agrees on that. Anyway I'm not planning on buying it untill summer if I ever do. Sorry if I offended anyone.

It does make sense. But also remember that there's more than one way to skin a cat (or drop a car).

If you go back and read that post, you'll notice that even WORKS says that there are different springs for different purposes: WORKS ride springs, with a more conservative drop and are an "all around" spring, meaning you still get a smooth daily driver and they would also fair well on a track. RRM springs, with their more aggressive drop, make a stiffer daily driver and they were born from and for road racing. But ultimately, WORKS & RRM had the same intentions when designing their springs: give the car a low & aggressive stance to improve handling while not killing the OEM shocks/struts.

And as far as RRM turbo kits go: I really don't think there is a better one on the market for the Lancer. Any reliability concerns you have should be pointed towards farking up the installation of the kit, not towards the construction of it.

Mitsu will release a turbo car not a turbo kit. They will also release a 2.4 liter engine in the GTS so.............. Dealers like to confuse people.

If you drive the CVT, you already have a tranny cooler. Out of the box, don't expect to be running massive amounts of boost...probably between 7 -11 lbs. And you can run more boost, obviously, with upgraded guts but at the expense of reliability.
