    I've looked on this forum to see how springs ride but i couldn't find any. I don't think our car, 2008 Lancer, rides is too stiff but with springs would it be rougher or is there a way to lower the car and it still ride ok...

    Also, could you also let me know what springs you have...

    coilovers should never be compared to regular springs, they are in a completely different league of modification. It's like comparing a SRI to a turbo kit.

    I hear right now Tein springs are the best at the moment but for later it's coliovers no doubt.

    My question is will the tein's rub with any other tire seeing as everyone has the 215/40's

    Should be fine if your aftermarket wheels are close to stock offset.
