    i was looking at a lot of cars that had been lowered by aftermarket springs but in all lancer there still a nasty gap in the front does anybody know how to solve this problem w/o getting coilovers? is it posible by cutting them ?

    You really don't want to cut springs because if you cut them wrong then you can really screw up your ride in terms of ride quality (bumpiness) and handling. You could go for the Eibach Sportline springs... they give you a pretty low drop. Even though many of the springs still leave a gap you have to consider that the less gap there is.... the more you run the risk of rubbing your tires especially when taking sharp turns.

    Dude don't cut springs, I did it to my old car, it looked cool but the ride was shit.

    you could heat and shrink them if you felt the need for a better drop

    springs for these cars are low enough,trust me.if you go too low then you are gonna be blowing struts left and right on a new car.get real coilovers,or get springs.
