3 to 4 inches. Have you check your clearences. It sounds like you will have a whole bunch of rubbing issues. Will you be able to turn your steering wheel to full lock without the wheels hitting anything? I think you will greatly comprimise the safety of your vehicle lowering it that much. The lowest I ever went on my coilover set up on my Lancer was about two inches. Even that low I had rubbing issues and I was using 15" wheels with a little bit wider tire. (205/55-15) I hope you think about what you are going to do before you move foward with this.

Im planning on getting some H&R Sport Springs but i am also interested in what set up you guys have for your lancers i want a drop of about 1.8 all around when its settled but also without blowing the bank I'm looking to spend about 400 and this is including shocks and springs only as i read that there are no real good aftermarket struts ill just get regular struts but definately would like to get good shocks to go with the H&R Sports

Like you are helping amby.
Good luck getting it under $400
I just replaced my shocks/struts with kyb struts an tein s-tech springs.
struts were $350
springs were $170
the kyb struts however didn't come with bump stops or boots so I had to buy all those, and new bushing set for rear so that cost me an extra ~$100 (I can't confirm if other struts come with or without boots/bushings)
Here is a quote from my suspension help thread:
That should be everything you need to purchase. You must reuse the mounts from the old struts.

Here is a quote from my suspension help thread:
My old strut/shocks are literally trash, there is nothing left to them and if there is anything left it is torn to shreds. I think the bushing kit is the same for both front and rear. This is what I am looking at currently...
(4x) Shocks:
(4x) Struts:
(2x) Strut bushing kit: (EDIT: ONLY NEED 2 BUSHING KITS FOR REAR STRUTS)
(2x) Front strut boots:
(2x) Rear strut boots:
The strut bushing and boots cost me an extra ~$150 dollars on top of the $350 for struts and $170 for springs
