spend the cash and get the fully adjustible tein they are great and if you take the time to measure and keep adjusting you can set them just the way you want them

I prefer the Eibach. Unless you go with the coilover kit that Tein offers. My Pro-kits settled in. And the car has a very small gap (even on stock rims).

I just put mine on last saturday, and it was a very easy install. Looks great, but I forgot to cut the the bump rubber in the front, so it rides a little bumpy in the front. I'll take it all apart again this weekeknd and fix it.

It is definately the perfect height for a lancer!!

Id go with teins. Overall its probably a 1.5 drop all around. For pics with teins and 17's look at zooracer's car.
