theyre the same thing.

 

well, i got one more question and then i think ill call it quits on this thread, any hieght recomendations?

 

i think tein recommends 30 all the way around... i have my front set at 35 i believe and 30 in the rear... trying to balance the car until i can get it corner balanced

 

As sais above, Tein recommends 30mm of thread to be showing, but I found that to be way too low on a Lancer with a stock weight. I recommend doing what I did, get a bubble level and put it on each control arm, adjusting it until it is perfectly level. You don't want to go any lower than that or you will hurt your handling. Ans also, as mentioned above, corner balancing is the best way to select ride height, but it's a little expensive.

 

actually thinking about it... i have 40 in the front and 35 in the rear... and the gap seems to be about even between the front and rear. When i get it corner balanced sometime this spring/summer ill post up how much thread it is on each corenr... should allow people to be pretty close to balanced +/- a few lbs for driver weight

 

how much are we talking here on the corner balancing?

 

around 3-400 plus an alignment after that. Seems to be about the running rate around here. And you have to be there the entire time unless they have a staffer whose weight is close to yours.

 

^ good lord, thats nuts

 

it goes like this... weigh the car... lower a side... weigh the car raise a different side... weigh the car opps raised it too much lower it down a lil... but having it tuned would be beneficial if you race the car. If not, just get an alignment and be done with it.

 

god !@#$%^&*(ing damn it, now super$#!+bacs wont install anything unless you buy it from them, what a bunch of crap, i shoulda just stuck with road race for the instal from the start, now im just pissed at myself

 

maybe i missed something, but why can't you install them yourself?

good luck with it man, i'm sure it'll be worth it in the end

 

because when it comes to something as major as this, the last thing i wanna do is screw it up, id rather have people with expierience and who have done it before do it, i think its worth the cash

 

Just do it yourself. It's very easy. But get someone to help. Four hands work better than two.

EDIT - what's to screw up? Pop them in, tighten all the bolts, and set the height/dampening as needed. Unless you leave a bolt off, you're fine.

 

so i dont need a spring compressor for the stock spring already in there?

 

i'm dumb so don't trust me, but i believe the whole assembly comes out, strut spring combo and all and is replaced by the tein combo
