2006 Lancer LS strut/spring suggestion
Good day,
I'm looking for info on what combination of spring and struts to put on my car, this is my day to day car, and i don't do any type of racing, just going for the look. I want to lower it a bit as i have installed 18"rims with 215 35-18 tires and want it to look better. Here a pic i took from it.
Thanks for any advice.
Lio,

Hope all is well, very clean looking lancer. Most people use a combination of *Kyb-Gr2/Excel-G* shocks & struts with *Tein S-Tech* lowering springs. Based on what you're looking for those should suit you well. I am assuming you would be changing everything out since it may not be wise just slap some lowering springs on stock shocks.
A step up from this would be the Tein Street Basis which are pretty much a shock/lowering spring combo giving you the ability to adjust to your desired ride height.

Thanks for your reply SilentCool, what would be the main difference between throwing strut/shocks/lowering springs vs coilovers? I read somewhere that driving with coilovers are stiffer, this is my day to day ride, so as i said, i'm just going for the look rather than performance for racing...
Cost is something you should also consider, a set of kyb shocks would be around $300/$350 and lowering springs would cost you another $150/$200. The Street Basis would be around $500/$550 depending on where you shop.
