    no it will mess up your stock shocks
    you will need to get a chamber kit

    any drop more then 1.5 inches you need to get a chamber kit

    they help probably align the front of your car if you go to low
    here are the ones rrrm makes way over priced i think tho

    i must request the G.R.I.P rrm springs i heard they ride amazing, and they will not require a chamber kit , they will only need an alignment after they are installed

    RRM springs are exactly the same as Progress tuning springs which are cheaper too (google it) I had the Tein Stechs..holy crap i was literally a rough rider.

    I have an RRM Camber Kit for sale $60, RRM exhaust $230, INjen cold air intake $200 all shipped

    you need a camber kit regardless of the drop because the lancer stock bolts cannot be modified for different camber degrees

    it's called camber it is how far your tires go in and out so if the tire looks like this / <- it is positive camber and \ <- is negitive camber. I don't think that it will really mess with the way your car rides like on bumps and stuff but from what the other guys are saying it will mess up your alignment so your camber caster and toe could change.

    when you lower your car, you get negative camber. to back up jarol220 with his explanation, here's a visual one.

    if you get one of those unadjusted camber, your tires will look like this:

    and you'll end up spending money to replace these tires. therefore, you use a camber kit to prevent all these problems. hope that helps.

    I have the TEIN S-Techs and they not that bouncy and yes you will need a camber kit.

    As for the blow off valve [BOV] you will need a turbo for that due to only turbo cars use bov.
