    Ok here are some pics of my WORKS springs and sway-bar installed.

    I also have the WORKS air-filter installed, but don't see much point in taking pics, all I can say there is a difference for sure, compared to stock!

    I hope you all got broadband :D

    Doing some more pics of the car itself tomorrow.

    I haven't driven much yet, as I just got home from my friend's after we installed the sway-bar. I did the springs yesterday and they are great! Chucked it around a few corners around my area which I'm used to, and was definately more snappy and less body roll, than what was experienced before (please note my car is a DE)

    Still to do a final alignment in another week, once springs have settled a bit.

    In this pic you can see the springs and sway-bar installed, you can see from the pic, the sway-bar is set on the tight setting.

    This pic compares the ES 18mm to the WORKS 22mm.... big difference, not just in looks, but when stood upright, the ES bar tends to give a bit, and you can slightly bend it on the 90 degree ends, WORKS is a lot stiffer.

    Here you can see the ES has only one setting, WORKS has 2 settings.

    Sway-bar with logo.... not an upgrade... just looks nice :D

    This was one thing I liked about the WORKS bushings; compared to the crap Mitsu OEM. The bushings are better quality, and they have a nice snug fit around the circumference of the bar, the OEM wiggles noticeably.

    Just another pic, of the springs and sway-bar from a bit more back

    I can't comment entirely on the total package as a performance upgrade, as I've just installed them, but hope to write some notes on what I will experience soon, I'm not a car expert, so I can only write what I feel :D

    A note for my fellow aussies:

    The ride height of these will be legal (at least in VIC) clearance is 116mm, this was with 2 people sitting in the front. Legal height is 100mm in VIC.

    All lancer ranges in Australia have a sway-bar (stabiliser-bar) so you can be confident, any sway-bar you purchase from the US, should be fine with regard to fittment in Australia.

    I think the filter is great, and worth it, if your not going to add a CAI or SRI.

    You will feel the difference and hear it :D

    FLOW you commented on my car already .... :p
