Why coilovers?... Usually they have much higher spring rates than OEM struts. That means even MORE understeer.
IMHO that's not really the best choice for good handling in a 'box' Lancer, especially a daily driver.

IMHO a better alternative is to use US Image Starion springs (+ struts & hubs too if you also want bigger 7J or 8J x 16" Starion rims.)... (check eBay) They have slightly higher spring rates and should be a simple "bolt-on" to a Lancer 1800 GSR's steering box & arms.

BTW you WILL need better brakes as well... stock 1800 GSR brakes are total crap!
Image Starion calipers & master cylinder will "bolt in".
