hey guys,
i have the progress lowering springs on my car and i love them. however, i am about to do some major overhauls on my car and was thinking of going with tein adjustables. well i did some reading and i dont think i like the way the teins sound compared to just the progress springs. i think im gonna keep them. but i do want to change out the shocks/struts, whatever they are called, haha. does anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good set to put on the lancer.

thanks
tim

 

Are you talking about just shocks? Cuz there aren't any available as of yet.

If you're talking about a coilover setup that replaces the entire housing, it all depends on what you need. The Tein Basic has a preset and non-adjustable dampening, whereas the Tein SS and the JIC FLTA-2 has 15 way dampening adjustability.

As far as what you need and how much you want to spend is up to you. I know the FLTA-2s run a breezy $1900 retail.

 

i think
KYB's are out no?

 

i am hoping that KYB has done something. that is what i have always used in the past, but i wasnt sure if they had jumped on the lancer bandwagon.

 

Well, KYB makes our stock shocks (noticed that during my spring install). But they don't have any upgrades that I know of.

 

I don't see any adjustable from KYB or Koni just yet. Seems they have been slow coming for the Lancers and my G-35

thats not bad, get out there and walk it off.

 

isnt tokiko supposed to be coming out with some upgraded shocks for our car soon?

If Tokiko keeps up their "before the end of the year" timeline, we have anywhere between zero and four months to wait, though.

 

When I emailed Koni and KYB, they said they had no current plans on making Lancer shocks. Tokiko claimed to be working on one for both the ES and the OZ. But that's what Koni said a couple years ago.

If you haven't bought springs yet, get a Tein or JIC coilolver kit and cut your losses... just my .02

 

well i already ahve progress springs but i might go with the tein setup anyway.
