Springs will enhance handleing as well as lower the car. Sway bar is not necessary but very much enhances handling of the Lancer. I think I would rather have swaybar than springs. It is very important yet often overlooked part of car. We put huge rear sway bars on all of our FWD and AWD race cars to neutralize understeer which is engineered into virtually every stock produxtion car!

they make cars under steer? i didnt know that. what reason? i'd rather spin out that go flying straight off a cliff...

 

No the springs do not make understeer. Mitsubishi does!

What he was saying is that the added rigidity makes it so the car oversteers slightly more than stock I think. Makes sense to me anyway.

 

I had the Progress springs and the sway bar installed on my ES and now the car handles a lot better than it was before. It's more fun to drive the car now!

 

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PROGRESS SPRINGS OR ANY OTHER SPRINGS . . . HOW MUCH DID IT COST TO HAVE THEM INSTALLED. . . I HAVE THEM JUST SITTIN IN MY ROOM.

 

Should be about $120 to install!

 

thanks raul, just needed an estimate on what i should be paying. . . this way i dont get ripped off.

 

$120 including alignment and everything? asked a shop how much the other day and they said $400. I must have ****ty luck with people trying to rip me off.

 

$120 to install. No alignment. Still $400 sounds like the shaft. $200 total sounds more like it.

I WENT TO A SHOP AND THEY ASKED $250. I THINK I WILL NEGOTIATE FOR A PRICE BETWEEN 150-200

 

hey rock, i was thinkin about gettin the progressive spring kit, just wanna make sure, it'll fit the ls model of the lancer right? and in your opnion, should i get the front strut bar to improve the handling even more? any one can comment if they'd like too. is it true that prices are gonna go up?
