Arrow Need advice on new shocks

Hey guys, Ive found a great deal for some koni yellow shocks (about 200$ brand new) and was wondering if it was a good choice for my lancer 03 ES. Also, I would like to drop it a little bit and would like to advice on what spring to buy to give me a good drop, but it must still be ok to ride in our winter here( I'm from Quebec . And last, will those koni + new spring be better than my stock shocks and new spring cause I don't wanna blow those shocks in a month

Thx guys !

sounds like a deal, but do they actually fit your car?

no, they wont, the only shocks that fit the ES are the stock ones or the ones RRM sells

i have a full set of stock ES shocks with about 30k miles on em if your interested, they were not abused and were not used with aftermarket springs, ill let em go cheap

Look at the rims, they have the wrong bolt pattern for an ES. Apparently the guy has no idea what car he has.

I recognized the FS list.

Not saying that he is trying to screw you, nor that they wont fit. But I would make him prove it to you before you gave him any money.
