When lower my Lancer ES, Should I use Springs or what. Please tell why. I will be using my stock shocks. Can't afford aftermarket shocks. And what should it(springs) be set at? I will be driving the car daily. What else do I need to lower my car, to prevent fom breaking on me. Please tell whatever you know, I don't care what it is? I really want to lower my Lancer sometime in next few weeks. Please tell me some advice!! I am also on a buget. Please Help!!

 

hmmm, well....you might wanna check the suspension section in the tech info threads. theres a poll of peeps shocks blowing after lowering on springs. A lot guys have said there shocks get blown when they installed lowering springs, so I dunno really, I haven't lowered my car as of yet, but if I plan to in the future, I'm definitely gonna get the tein coilovers. Lotta peeps have them and they say they are the best.

 

I have lowered my car 2 or 3 years ago using the Eibach Pro Kit and my shocks are still good.

 

<-----Tein S techs from ebay, 2 years ago, still on stock shocks that are not blown.

 

I use Progress springs and Kyb Shocks, its been 5 months no problem at all.

 

^We all have stock KYBs btw...

 

Yeah but from what Rock says, the RRM ones are better. Just cause our stockers are KYB does not mean they are high performance. Just regular shocks from the factory. Go look at the tags on the stock seatbelt, they are made by Takata. Still dosent mean we have better seatbelts than say a ford f-150, lol.

 

it also depends on how low you go. i went 1.5 inches that is a good drop without having to change the struts. your ride WILL be rougher but if you can live with it... ok. but also know that when lowered and with out the struts changed your tires may not grip as well on sharp turns if you have a generic tire.
