If you want springs do not lower more than 1inch. My vote is: eibach's pro kits, and swifts there are many more out there, but do not buy cheap springs. I still use my stock shocks for winter times, with swifts. so far almost 4 years no problems with blown shocks, but this year i bought set of coils.

are you saying that the rrm GRIP springs are no good? and what's the point of spending all that money to lower your car less than an inch. what are the reasons for not using the sportsline rather than the pro-kit. when you are spending all this money to lower your car, i dont think it is worth it for such a minimal and unnoticeable difference.

I'm in the same boat.

I just want to drop the car a bit to clear the gap. My 08 Lancer GTS is my daily driver so I want to make sure that the ride isn't too bouncy and that it won't wear down the car too much. Not sure which springs to go with.

^ Eibach sportlines are a good choice nice drop for a DD. You are from Canada so you can order them from Tire Rack for $330 everything in, shipping duties, taxes etc.

might be cheaper right now as the loonie is gaining some ground.

Late runner here, I know... But having trouble finding answers!

I've a 2015 ES and the stock suspension is killing me... anyone know if GTS parts are direct replacement? Pretty sure they are but also can't seem to find spare parts for sale anywhere? Thanks ahead of time!
