Well yea, RRM is probably the guru to get your mods for the Lancer. But there's a few places where you can get other things. For example, I got my Greddy Catback Exhaust and Greddy Counterweight Shift Knob from Option Auto Salon. Adventon is another nice place to get a few things for the Lancer for great deals . I got my AEM CAI there for less than $200.

Cool, thanks a ton. I am all about getting the lowest price. but then again, who isn't. (I do realize that sometimes the lowest price however doen't make up for crappy service, or shady sellers.)

yea, sonantoni mentioned that dc sports carbon steel strut bar. it looks nice and is waaay cheaper than the RRM strut bar, but do you guys think it will do the job. because i heard that some dc strut bars just flex like crazy.

Hey I checked out that new DC sports front strut bar at ptuning and it looks like a sweet deal. Comes with free shipping for only $81.95. Anyone have this bar or know of a better deal?

I would test it out, but I already have a strut bar. I have a couple of friends with lancers and I could just have one of them try it out.maybe?

The DC strut bar looks similar to the Freedom Design one I had before... it was a piece of crap, but I really couldn't tell you if the DC bar is good or bad just from comparing pics to the one I had. I'm going with almost all RRM products for a number of reasons.

yea... i think RRM's strut bars are more dependable. ( just wish they had blue ones!!!! )

A while back, there were a ton of people asking for blue, so he did a run of bluw parts, announcing all over the forums that he would do any part in blue at no extra charge. He sold like 7 or 8 pieces and lost some $ to the powdercoat shop. Since then, he's decided to stick with the shop colors (red and silver) since they sell.

Blue would be nice. I bought the blue silicon hose kit from RRM and a AEM CAI, blue. A blue strut bar would be a perfect match. Why would RRM sell a blue hose kit and then not sell a front strut bar in blue? Perhaps they should either get rid of all their blue, or also offer everything in blue. Now if I want to go with a strut bar from RRM I have to get the silver.

like I said above, because he tried selling blue and nobody bought it. He actually does offer blue if I recall, but you have to pay for the powdercoating session. But if you can get a group buy going on blue products (been tried once before), he'll split the powdercoating fee between all the orders.

Do you know how much the powder coating would cost?

I don't recall, but I think it costs about $100 for up to like 20 pieces or something like that. I actually had some bike parts anodized once. My brother and I pooled together about 20 parts and had them dipped for $100. Was worth it to get our bikes looking that custom as we did it in a blue that wasn't offered in most parts (like the situation for you). Just a thought.

yea i think its about $50 extra to get it powder coated blue at RRM. Not really sure about that price though. Looks like we're in the same situation, because i bought blue hoses from them also, now i want a blue valve cover and blue strut bar.
