The front and rear sways are perfect fits to our cars. I dont know what is good and what is bad for pricing because I bought it off of a personal seller. He had some JDM stuff on ebay so i sent him a pm asking him about stuff for the Cedia. He replied and said that he owned one and would sell me some stuff off of his. I paid $450ish (including shipping) for the sways.

And the JDM style is a long lost art that is only practiced in the orient and is extremely expensive!!! A true JDM head spends countless hours on the computer searching out the right part that makes his ride different from anyone elses. I am online every night searching on Japanese websites and firums to see what the new trends are in Japan and what would be an option for a new part for my car. The look of a true JDM style consists of:

1) Everything put on the car should be dynamic, for example the rims on a car should be just as good at a show as they are on the track.
2) A sex appeal should be apparent throughout the exterior, meaning the body lines, spoiler, and other accssories should keep a fluid-like motion when looked at on the car.
3) The bigger does not always mean the better, its like saying big body kits are not the best because they are big, they have to be strategically chosen to accentuate the look and performance of the vehicle.
4) No flashy bright colors, stickers, or useless add-ons, For example, no massive purposeless aluminum wings or nonfunctional fake hood scoops.
5) Lastly and most importantly: THE CAR IS AN EXTENSION OF THE OWNER AND SHOULD REFLECT WHO THEY ARE, WILL BECOME, AND WANT TO ACHIEVE!

pix!pix!pix! and do you still have contacts of that seller or do you know the part number of the front sway bar?? 'cuz if I've the part number, I can get anything out of a CS3A.

BTW, if you really wanna go all JDM style, you are forgetting about the headlights.

Haha!!! Sorry Cerfur. The sways are from the ebay seller's Cedia, and the suspension is directly from RalliArt Japan: www.ralliart.com the only thing is that you will need a japanese decoder to understand anything on the site.

Headlights are a freakin pain in the ***!!! I have researched them out extensively!!! You need to not only change the head light, but the entire wiring harness and assembly, then to top it off you have to ship over bulbs to fit it every time they need to be replaced. Kind of bummer, but I think that I am going to do something absolutely sick with my headlights very soon!!! They are going to be rediculous!!!

OH THIS REMINDS ME OF ONE MORE THING!!!!!!!

Did you say that the suspension components of the CS2A/CS3A's and our CS6A's are the same?

I always see on magazines in Asia which they sell all kinds of coilovers from all kinds of companys (not just JIC, Teins and Tokico's) for the CS2A Lancer Cedia...
if they are interchangeable with our cars, I wonder why nobody sells them here...

If they are REALLY interchangeable, then that means there are TONS of aftermarket dampers, coilovers, sway bars, etc, etc available for our car at very affordable prices!

EDIT: but I also remember seeing tons of thread about this and the conclusion is....they don't fit our CS6A's...

What are you talking about? It's not gonna be a pain in the butt...TONS of us have already done it...
Check out the registries of mine, Iamkar33m, TeamNeXusOZ, SirDriftRun, TURBOit, and many others...
All you need is to do some simple wire split/cut, and a pair of H1 and a pair of 9005 and an extra pair of 194 bulbs and also 4 #20 fuses and you are set.

The RalliArt suspension I have is made as an upgrade to the stock Cedia suspension which does consist of a coilover set-up. This is for tarmac racing with moderate gravel intervals. It is supposed to be better for track racing than the stock CS3A's goodies, thus the reasoning behind the shocks, sturts and springs. If there is anything else you would like to know about, please feel free to ask me and I hope I can answer your questions to the fullest. Thanks guys for your supportand interest in my style.
Please vote for my ride in my profile!!!
