Thanks!

I honestly love taking pics of her. At the right angle she's really photogenic.

true enuf, what brakes are they?

Front calipers are Corvette C6 Z06 6-piston calipers and Centric "High Carbon" (non-cryo) Evoution X front rotors. I bought a caliper bracket from NFSLancer to make it possible to mount this caliper on my car. IIRC he's currently evaluating a new source for the brackets or something along those lines... you can read his thread on the kit he's building here:

You and I have very similar Ralliart sportbacks. I recently lowered mine on Tein S. Techs as well.
The wheels are sparco assetto gara's 18x8 +45 and the tires are the stock 215/45/18 yokohama's. I haven't flared the fenders yet, because they're not rubbing. With the +45 offset the front are flush with the finders but do not rub and a 10mm spacer is needed for the rear to be flush. I am debating on getting it or not. I think they look nice how they are.

Haha, we also have identical wheel and tire specs! I agree it looks good . My stockers are getting pretty worn thinking about going up to 235's next. I'll post a picture up of her in the next day or so!

It's a Lancer Sportback ES. Not an Evo lol. If it was an evo it would have BBS rims not those hubcaps. But the old Lancer Sportbacks are pretty rare as well. Not very many around if any at all.

Here's some pictures I took of my car on my way up to the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey after lowering her on Tein S. Tech's.

During the install:

Fueling up for the long drive:

Parked while stopping for some food:

Did some quality canyon carving by driving up the 1 for a good 45-50 miles instead of the 5:

Handling is improved loads and body roll nearly eliminated. Ride is also harsher but it's something I'm willing to live with.


Specs are Motegi MR118 18x8 +45 with stock Yoko's on Tein S. Tech's

Thinking of switching out to some 235/40 or 245/40's soon as the stockers are wearing thin.
