    the only difference between the 08 and 09 is the engine which is 2.4, and the interior you can get leather now lol. All the 08 aftermarket parts will fit. Check out our sponsors they all have lowerin springs hell a few even have coil overs. Sweet check them out. Post a pic of you lady

    Got a message from TEIN the other day.

    Hello Richard,

    Thank you for your interest in TEIN High Performance Suspension products.
    Unfortunately, we have yet to release products for the '08+ Mitsubishi
    Lancer ES, although we are currently developing our S.Tech and High.Tech
    lowering springs, as well as our Basic and Super Street full coilover kits
    for your vehicle. Although a release date has yet to be determined, product
    availability is anticipated in the near future. We are also seeking a
    vehicle for R&D testing, and if you are located in the Los Angeles area and
    would be interested in providing your car for such test work to be
    conducted, please respond with your contact information. For more
    information regarding the R&D test vehicle lender program, please visit
    http://www.tein.com/test_vehicle/index.html. Additionally, we have noted
    your inquiry and can contact you via email upon release of products for your

    no another thing that might be diffrent from 08 model and 09 model is the way the hangers for the exhaust are positioned.. but dont quote me on that.. because listen up. i just purchased a Greedy exhaust from a 08 GTS and was going to put it on my 09 Es-Sport and i had to get it Custom fitted with new hangers. they had to weld new ones on.. i mean its the right shape and curvature.. just diff hanger positions.. so there might be some diffrences between the 08-09 unless theres a diffrence between Es and GTS or PZEV and FED.

    I phoned Eibach and H&R and they say they are working on the 09 springs.

    I also phoned 2 dealershits in my area, 1st guy said that the struts and the springs are exactly the same in the 08's and 09's without checking into anything. Next dealership said that they have 2 different part numbers and wasnt sure if they are the same.

    hmmmmmmmmmmmm :?
