Just installed Tein S. Tech springs on the 06 Lancer

just a question for anyone who can answer...i just installed some lowering springs (Tein S. Tech) i love the way my car looks...but it is riding pretty stiff....is this how it will always ride or did i just need to give the springs some time to adjust to the weight...someone let me know

It's gonna be stiff and unfortunately you will notice decreased handling performance during mid-corner bumps.

Yes, it will be more stiff, and yes you reduced handling and will blow your shocks for the sake of lowering the car.

Show us some proof that it reduces handling....I keep asking yet you still haven't shown us anything other than hearsay.
