I've been waiting for Eibach to release their springs. They're not available yet, but I noticed the '08 Lancer page at Eibach shows the expected drop their springs will provide.
Pro-Kit: 1.2" front, 0.8" rear
Sportline: 1.7" front, 1.2" rear
I'm glad to see they're making an effort to level out the front and back. To me, the front should be lower, if anything. The way it looks stock...being higher in the front...it's just awkward looking.

I dropped my 08 Lancer GTS on EigBack's Sport line springs 17F-1.2R. The ride is great and I can feel the difference. I dont rub when I drive nor does it rub when I have people in my car. The drop is not slammed but there is barely a gap on the rear and the front has about 1 1/2 inch gap or so not really sure. I am happy with the drop, in about 1 year I will switch over to Megan Coilovers so I am not worried about my stock shocks.
Will do. We have a Prototype set of TEINS but we are holding on to them. Meantime if you cannot wait, GRIP springs are quite similar since we gave TEIN the imput for their springs.

^^Does anyone else have any reviews on any or all of these springs? It seems
Works are the most expensive but they also have the most descriptor on their product, justifying their prices. Does "you get what you pay for" apply here?

i bought my works springs with 10% discount. It does 2 jobs : Making my car sit lower, and actually making the ride on the GTS much softer (better IMO). To me it lowers the car to the right height, and anything lower than this will not look any better. These "Shot peened, stress relieved" coils should last long.
This is an excellent product from Works, who's probably the best aftermarket parts vendor out there. I was gonna buy from Eibach but was worried that it would just be a piece of springs that lower the car. Work is specialized in Mitsubishi cars and they seem to know what works the best on our lancer.
