i very highly doubt it because not everybody can afford an evo so at least this site won't push it aside.

I'd agree that it won't likely get pushed aside, but I do wonder if the Lancers coming out next year will help or hurt.

Hopefully, enough of them will be interchangeable with ours, because I don't see the purchasing power of the relatively few Lancers here now helping to convince more manufacturers to make aftermarket upgrades.

Wings west has flat out said they won't be making a kit for the Lancer and the car isn't the caliper that Veilside usually works with....I did hear something about a c-west kit....haven't heard anything else since though.

I keep thinking about the Celica before this current generation... the one with four headlights. Yeah... that's the one.

think of it this way... it draws more attention to the lancer and that means more sales of the regular lancers to young people (The most likly to modify) and the aftermarket will follow

here are some companies which make kits:
for ur info, i've included the ones u named already.

-tsunami
-wings west
-cwest
-kaminari
-groundeffects2000
-vis (vis racing)
-buddy club
-veilside
-bomex

i can't think of any other companies.
but i know TSUNAMI is good, their kits are pretty expensive, like 600$US for each parts: FB, SS, RB and such.

but extremely high quality polyurethane. i bought my civic kit form them, i recommend, hope they make a kit.
