welcome!! =P
currently there arent that many aftermarket parts out for our cars as we'd like
ralliart and lancer only have 2 coilovers BCracing+Megans...tein is currently in development
if you want exhaust for the ralliart it's mostly custom piping
i think we're doing a group buy soon for new slotted brakes for lancer,ralliart,and evox

and only thing you should beware of is your tires.
the dunlops that come with the ralliart and lancer GTS SUCK donkey *****. only work when they are dry, if its wet its performance is poor. and when it snows you slide, so get urself a set of winters for sure.
oh and the dunlops wears out really quickly so yea =P

does the aftermarket evo X exhaust fits ralliart?
what about IC piping n BOV?
got a qoute from dealer today, 6500 downpayment, 180 bi-weekly for 7 years(with premium package)
is it a good price? or it can go lower?

6500+180x2x12x7 = $36,740?

not bad for a premium package if tax included. 7 years is a bit long though; they probably will like to make $$$ off you on maintenance fees.

bi weekly is a scam bud...
ots 180 x 26 x 7 = 32760 + 6500 = 39260.

well not a scam, just misleading.

that will bring your cost to around 40K. Same level as IS250, Altima Coupe Premium, Acura TSX, Subaru WRX level.. it's still a "normal" price for ralliarts, but it's just you have a lot more options on great cars to choose from.

although you could spend the same amount of money on luxury cars, if you are buying ralliart strictly for the performance and passion for street style, you'll love lancer ralliart.

there are IC piping as well as BOV out for the ralliart and evox already
i believe you can use the evoX stock BOV on the ralliart
see if you can get a better deal on the ralliart 2009, espeically cuz the 2010 models are out already so now shud be a clearance time for the 2009s

I had an 09 Lancer GTS for 11 months and just totalled it last week. I went in today and ordered an 09 RA. I learnt 2 things from having the GTS, the stock dunlops are crap and the paint chips so EASY. I made sure to get the dealer to throw in the 3M clear bra for free. The Rally Armor mudflaps are a great mod too cause they look good but most of all help protect the paint around the rear of the side skirts which gets pretty sandblasted

Really? I just ordered an 09 RA earlier today and talked to 6 diff dealers and they all said the 2010 models are not out and aren't due to hit the dealers till Nov or close to that
