Not the best pics in the world, but you get the idea....

So a 1.8" drop claim from Sprint....but WOW was I surprised to realize that my back now tucks by .25" and the front has hardly a one finger gap. After one day of having them installed I love 'em. The gap scares me a bit in the back because its tucking and is VERY close to the fender.

Now I have to get an alignment/camber kit. I've been told that it MUST be done within a week of lowering the car or I'll go through a brand new set of tires in a month...anyone validate this??????????? I've always had it aligned at the same time as lowering with my previous cars so I dont know. Thanks.

 

now that's low! that would get torn UP on the roads around here!

from what i have read you will definitely want to get an alignment.

 

i second the "getting torn up", utah has got some craptastic roads, i apologize to my lancer each day i drive.

 

too low in the back for my taste - hope midwest isn't chicago or else your front is going to LOVE neighborhood speed bumbs

 

Yes get an alignment, I was lazy and didn't do it right away and ate up a brand new set of parada spec II's

 

I've had the sprints on my lancer for nearly two years now and the ride height is great. I got the alignment done the same day i got the springs put on - u should get the alignment ASAP. Too bad there aren't any aftermarket springs though - my shocks are gone..

 

crap! Now im worried...I've drove quite a bit this weekend too! Guess we'll see what happens...Im in Missouri - roads are NOT good. MoDOT isnt the best. We'll see how she handles it...im going to be livid if I have to buy new tires in a month...

 

I had my springs put on by a friend. Did a really bad job and lets say he's not my friend anymore well to make a long story short i needed new front shocks within 2 months of having the springs in. I just took it to a shop they order me the KYB's and $800 later my car drives awesome. Also some of roads here is Rhode Island are like the original roads from 1800's so you can only imagine.

 

I got the drop when i still lived in NYC - needless to say, i've needed new shocks for a while now - a LONG while

 

you need a lip kit asap. drop looks good

 

And how is the ride with those blown shocks?? I figure I'll have 1 month max before they say bye-bye...ride already seems bouncier than expected...

 

I think it looks nice.

 

That's gotta be lower than 1.8"; my Lancer on adjustable CO's are at about that height. It looks more like 3 inches.

 

Wow thats low, hope when I order mine it goes as low as your getting the sprint for the 03 es next month hopefully

 

Thats what I thought too. The description on the site and on the box said 1.8" from OEM height. After seeing the OEM part I thought, 'ohhh crap because my stock springs sagged a bit it probably wont even look 1.8.' BOYYY was I wrong. It definitely appears lower than 1.8, in my opinion. HOWEVER, I am extremely happy with them so far. Ride is not as harsh as you would think.

And looking at your car it does appear as though we are pretty close in drop. Im even running on 35 series tires...
