bob- I have 4 stock dampers with about 25K miles on them just looking for a good home. PM me.

WorstPlaya: thanks for playin' but there is NO front camber adjust on the lancer. You're thinking you're in Evo tech No caster adjust either. toes are adjustable and this is where you'll get the most gain and the most wear. Premature wear across the tire is a result of bad toe. extreme camber can cause the toes to go all wonky, because as we all know all the different systems are linked together.

The camber bolts- if you use 2 per side, will yield about -1.75 deg camber and won't have a bad effect on toe.

and after all that, don't expect much difference in your times. You need autocross school. Chances are you're turning too late in your slaloms to make the next cone, hitting the brakes too hard and giving it too much gas out of the corners. a full 8 hour day of running short slaloms (get smaller as you go through), fast/long slaloms, 180deg turn practice and a practice autocross course will do more than any car mod.
Repeat the phrase "seat time" until you pass out

Good luck
