Ok I know there are many threads on this, but I still haven't found a definite answer. For those that actually know, meaning have done it or seen/heard it done, what extra parts are needed to install the tein coilovers on the lancer ES?

 

you dont need anything except an alignment when ur done

 

ok. i pm'ed like 10 different members that all have ES models and have the tein coilovers....they said that we definately need the upper strut mounts from the OZ model. Mitsu made the oz ones just a little bit bigger than ours and since the teins are made based on the oz specs, we need the oz upper mounts....just the front ones....the rear ones go in with no additional parts

there was one other thing that went with the upper strut mount....a pillowball joint or somthing....let me see if I can find it and I'll get back to you.

 

^ false

you need the oz upper strut and the upper strut bearing i think. Its in the "Coilover talk here" thread.
(flase was refering to post #2)

 

Ok great, thats the kind of answer I was looking for.

 

darnnnnn

 

 

yeah, i had this problem with my ES, and im guy who made the "Tien coilovers? TALK HERE" thread, so just look through it, somewhere around page 8 u can see what problems i encountered https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=90851

 

long story short, u need upper strut mounts and bearings for the front from an OZ, but my thread will give you options on where to buy em

 

lol... that thread is quite long ... goood thred though....
