my 05 lancer build up
went back on a little crooked. Looks pretty good though. Shame the hood/trunk isn't carbon fiber but of course that'd take $$$

Hmm.. definately needs a drop. You should paint the roof black since you did the hood and trunk, keep it uniform you know what I mean. I think that might look better.

for lowering i would say think about how long you are planning on keeping the car. if its just a year or so then just get some real good springs and you will be fine. but if you're gonna keep it for a few years then invest the money in coilovers.

You can't really be the judge of that since you don't know what he will be doing with the car. If he plans on autocrossing or racing at all, the springs will blow the shocks. If he will be driving like a middleaged woman, dropping just for the looks, the springs should be okay.

I've got the Progress springs that drop 1.5 front and 1.3 rear, had them for about a year so far, and the front struts are just now going out. It'll happen, trust me. I take turns harder than anyone I know, certain springs will just take longer to blow struts.
