    Haven't really been on the forums lately, been really busy. not too sure if u guys solved that arguement of whether the teins springs made for the older lancer would fit on the new 08's

    correct me if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere that there is a 200 lb difference between the years

    yes these springs were originally made for the 06 RA

    ride is sitff but comfortable, you feel more of the road now. my only complaint is that i cannot park in my driveway anymore. my driveway has a slight slope inwhich my front bumpers scrape every single time with the new springs.

    I picked these up at speedcorps.com

    gatzaraki.....u win ...u win

    its a suggestion and i am not sure you tried it but have you tried going into your driveway at an angle instead of head-on?

    how much of a drop is that? is it an all around drop? or diff in the front and back?

    Nice. have you noticed if your ride sags a lot going into corners? I think that while the spring will fit our cars, the geometry of the '08 compared to that of the '06 may adversly effect the handeling of the car.

    Thanks
