Hi guys....Im thinking about to get springs for my 'Lancer ES 03'

I've just looked through on ebay and i saw a TEIN S spring.but is said it's for

lancer 02+ oz rally....then it doesn't fit on my car right???? im confusing.

If anyone have an idea.. please help me!

1.TEIN ? or RRM ? or other brand?

2.how much is OK to drop my car? (w/17"wheels)

thank you

p.s : car is really looks high after that i got new rims...so bad looking

 

Tein won't fit at all. Progress makes springs that fit the ES. No idea on max drop. In general springs are a bad idea since in a few months your stock shocks will be dead and your ride will be bumpy.

 

Instead of buying springs now and having them put in and then in a few months replacing the shocks i would reccomend waiting a bit and saving to get TEIN basic or super street coilovers....you WILL NOT be dissapointed.

 

That is what i have been doing, and now i will have my tein basics soon hopefully.

 

^ i waited and got the tein basics for my ES, i havent been sad about it since

one words that will help when it comes worrying about hieght:
adjustable

 

you cant go wrong....you get addicted to driving your car after you put those things in

 

ok,

anything

(tein springs, eibach pro kit, tein coilovers)

wont fit.

you need the oz front mount and oz bwaring if u want any of those to fit..

i had to swithc to oz mounts for my teins!

 

ive been whoring these pics of my car....hope they help u decide. regardless if u get full suspension, coils, or just springs...ur cars gonna bounce... depends on wat ur gonna use it for i guess...

i have the PROGRESS springs for about a year w/ 17x7.5 all around...

 

thank you guys for good infomation...I decieded to not get spring but get the sway bar.

I've heard that helps handle better and balanced..so im about to get a RRM sway bar.
is it good deal in the ES parts markets? I have no idea cause im noobie..

N e way thank U everybody!

 

AND I have another question.
I've got installed GReddy mufflur a week ago and im planning to get a SRI...which one's good? any idea? U proffesional guys? (unfortunately on automatic)

(and i've searched these forum but I couldn't find how to install intake w/pic....any Idea too?)

vote please

1.RRM SRI
2.INJEN SRI
3.AEM SRI
4.ect....(your choice)

 

K&N makes good stuff....personally if i were to get an SRI for this car I'd go RRM they are experts with the lancer....cant go wrong

 

the brand of sri really doesn't make any difference... they will all increase sound and increase HP with very minimal gains.

 

how about this intake? is it OK? good price? or RRM better? im about to choose between these.

That SRI is fine, yes. K&N makes good stuff.

Personally, coilovers made the car too stiff for daily driving. Maybe pick up a set of Progress springs and the new struts RRM is selling for ESs? It would be more comfy, but still give performance benefits.
But if you want to go for hardcore stiffness, contact RRM and get a set of Tein coilovers (and the parts to fit them on your ES).

 

Have you tried more then just lowering springs on your car to know about a compared differance on the Lancer? No problaby not eh. Well I have. After blown struts and destroyed strut mounts from Lowering Springs (Tein-S techs) I went with a Nex Full coilover system and Man what a difference. The car handles like a go-kart compared to before. Weather you decide to go with Tein or Nex is up to you but if you plan on lowering your car then I suggest full coilovers, It may be an expensive initial cost but you will save big bucks in the long run, TRUST ME.

2 front struts assembly's for the Lancer (cause they both have to be replaced at the same time for safty reasons) is $600.00 CDN. and thats just the front. Another couple of hundred bucks and you can have full coilovers which replace front and rear.

Regardless you will blow your struts with lowering springs or sleaves. Its just a matter of time for when. Bumpy roads, Hard Cornering, and Lots of Driving will play a big factor in the life span of your suspention equipment.
