[Lancer Boi]

Hey tuners hav ah ck2 lancer an wanted 2 no ws de bes way tuh drop it so de ride wouldn't be 2 bad

[De Dragon]

Buy proper drop springs and shocks. Do NOT put no big arse rims. Do NOT cut/heat or in any way alter your stock springs. A nice 2" drop in front and 1.5" in back and you good

[Lancer Boi]

[chindian88]

^^^ take this advice when yuh ready to surrender yuh life and the life of anyone that yuh have riding in yuh car...

^^^ Good point. The first suggestion is probably the best idea, th alterations are really dangerous. I know a few guys who cut springs, reheated and recoiled springs... but they have some ricey cars with shiny wheels and don't drive at anything over 70kms for fear of cracking their 19" silverware. If you're going to push your car at all, buy some conservative springs like the Eibach or Teins. Look for a slightly stiffer ride than stock but not too aggressive.

Some of the cheaper brands give you a lower drop but will probably damage your shock. If you want to go really low... safely, buy some coilovers... the cheaspest will cost you about $6, 800. Or you can go to the darkside and "surrender yuh life and the life of anyone that yuh have riding in yuh car" Peace,

TEIN S.TECH

BTW what sports shocks it have for lancer?

[soo]

i got eibach pro drop springs

kyb-gr2 front (silver). a lot of people say its the same as excel-g (black). even the website says its the same.... just branded differently. But other people will tell you differently

Kyb-agx 8 way adjustable rear.

Overall the handling is very much improved. especially cornering. Playing with the dial on the rear shocks makes a big difference too. Because of my daily south highway runs i have it set on 1 now because that's the most comfortable on bumpy roads. Used to have it on 3 because i was on the east west corridor which is much smoother generally.

Body roll much reduced. Car is a lot more responsive on cornering. overall the costs may be about a grand lower than coilovers though.... i bought my stuff in parts and put it on all at once.

don't know how coilovers feel for a daily driver, but would definitely have a lot more options for adjustment than the sports springs and shocks.

How much u paid for the rear shocks & where u got it? By chance u know the cost of the front?

[soo]

got the front from w2j (teknet). u can get the rear there too.

i'll have to dig up the bill but i am sure u can call and get a cost from him. i think it was around 1500 for the pair.

i brought in the AGX myself. customs raped me though. it was 1200 i paid for em and then customs hit me for six with like 1800 in customs and tax...... i will never do that again. it was also a big headache to go down to TTPOST to collect it. i feel W2J and others will get u a better landed price and less headache. it will also reach here faster.

^Soo.......this is how a CK looks with the Eibach Pro-Drop? Nice, I always wanted to know, thanks for sharing.

If i get the chance, I will post up how the CK looks with H&R springs and 15" rims. It looks just about the same.
