PICS of the DROP!! ( GTWorx )

Well, i just washed the car and took a few quick pics b4 the sun went down..

Ive had the springs on for a week so far and i LOVE them. the car rides almost the same as before... rolls a little less and not so low that i scape everything. 20mm drop up front and 15mm drop in the rear

i have yet to take them on a twisty road, but i will soon and i think they will do great.

Enjoy.

can you take some measurements from the edge of the fender to the top of your tire on both the front and the back? Thanks...

I've been looking into the GTWorx lowering springs and i dont think that they even lower the front an inch. I think its just over 3/4 of an inch lower to be honest. I do think that with the GTWorx and a set of 18s would look pretty nice though

They do look the same as stock.. but I don't think the purpose of the GT WORX is to lower the car for looks.. Their main concern is to use a spring that will out perform the stock springs..

trust me it is lower, BUT you have to remember these are not TEIN S TECHS!!!!

and my car still handles well, and not like a ford explorer


the springs are a 20mm drop up front and a 15mm drop out back.

from gtworx.com

"In August 2006, Racecomp Engineering/GTWorx set out to design an all new lowering spring for the 2003-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. This spring was intended to be unlike anything else currently available on the market and designed with continuous support and feedback from the very active Mitsubishi Evolution community. The goal was to produce something completely different, a lowering spring that had outright performance and ride quality as the two main goals. Only a subtle drop was desired, as it became clear that the community was more interested in grip rather then a low ride height. The result are the new GTWorx Street/Track EVO Springs. With spring rates about 10% stiffer then the Swift Sport Springs for EVO and a drop of 20mm up front and 15mm in the rear, these springs are not for those who are just looking a slammed ride. Body roll is vastly reduced, and yet the ride height allows the use of such higher spring rates without sacrificing ride quality. The extra travel of the taller ride hieght also allows the damper to soak up mid-corner bumps without bouncing off the rubber bumpstops."
