I installed the T1R lowering springs designed for the Lancer 08+ and they fit just fine! however the drop might be a little more than I wanted. Measured from stock front at 27.5 inch front and 27inch rear. Springs installed; Front 25.75inch and Rear 26inch

Therefore totaling front 1.75 inch drop
Rear 1.00 inch drop

I expect a little settling to happen over the next short while so it may be just a tad more. For reference I have 16in winters and there is still a 1.5 finger gap on the fender now. T1R states 1.2 inch drop on the 08+ lancer

T1R Lowered Height


The Height has already settled a little more than that on my drive home tonight. It is LOW now.

Could it be from the added weight of the RA over the Lancer?

so that is mean the stock evo X springs will work on it too...
And that will be a lot cheaper from the forum
But i'm curious, how much actually the X springs would lower it?
Like an inch around?

looking hot man! I don't know if i'm going to bother lowering mine. Ive ground the front a couple times already stock.

It is pretty low but I had a successful day today not hitting the ground anywhere I put on about 70miles with hwy and city parking and driving. I rechecked today and its about a 2 finger gap on front and 1.5 finger on the back. this is with 16in rim with 60series 225.
It is pretty bouncy though. I will be investing in proper coilovers when available, that have the right valving in the shocks to control the stiffer spring. Still I"m pretty satisfied as it has really controlled the body roll compared to stock, When swaybars are availible I"ll add those too! But for right now, it looks really really nice!

Looks good! I like the winter tire/wheel setup too

but the spring rates are not matched, your struts will wear out quickly + the height, not the best in the winter

DO it, but with a lip kit and some shoes you will be killing it.

clean the car and take some more pics

I'm interested because I think the car is too high as is. I live in miami, FL so winter is pretty much non existent. The only thing i'm worried about is stiffness. I don't want the car to be bouncing all over the place.

^then dont purchase springs.

look into getting coilovers.

I had springs in my 04 IS300 and it was just fine.
