I've read in other parts of this forum that the Evo 8 Springs fit on the us lancer, well if this is the case would Tein's electronic force dampener (EFD) work for the US lancer too, I've been searching for this all over the place and I haven't seen it up come up as an issue, anyone know, if that's the case, that's how I'm going to go. click the button and lower and go. Sounds good to me if it will work.

someone give me some insite please, suspension / tires / wheels is my next step and I want to get it done right.

 

I might be wrong, but the dampening force has nothing to do with lowering your car. It makes it either stiffer or softer, not higher or lower.

 

My understanding was, you are right it does stiffen the springs, but it also lowers it a little bit to accomplish this (that's what I thought at least). Eitherway, what I am looking for is if it will work on the US lancer, since, as I said before evo8 springs fit the U.s. lancer (supposedly) so in theory why wouldn't EFD work on the US lancer as they only have it listed for the evo8

 

Has anyone checked this out yet, to see if it will work?

 

if you mean tein EDFC (electronic dampening force controller) which sits on top of the struts... it wont work... at least it wont work on the front b/c the hood wont be able to close. and if this is what you are talking about blaze is correct, it only increases or decreases the dampening in the strut. does not lower as far as i know.

 

It stiffens the shocks, not the springs, and it will not fit on the front shock towers unless maybe you seriously modified your hood.

 

or some way to drop the strut tower down lol

 

That would completely **** up your entire suspension geometry. Cutting the hood makes a lot more sense.

 

Thanks. I just thought it may be possible since I read somewhere else in one of these forums that the EVO 8 suspension will fit on an OZ.

 

^then the person was talking out of their butt, bc it wont.

 

Now I just need to drill out my hood to install an EDFC!
