A lot has changed since then, but my purpose and goals have not. All the hard work is done now, everything will get easier from here on out. First on my to-do list now, figure out why it sits like a truck.

Did you use the Evo rear strut towers? They are higher to give the Evo more suspension travel than the base Lancer/Mirages.

It may not look like too much of a conversion between the 4-year differences to most people, but the internals we don't see are what also matter. It's kind of like the opposite of this thread.

I remember, I just didn't want to believe it

Now I need to find a way to get things sitting right, good thing is my coilovers are height adjustable.

you can probably just find some coilovers that are made for the Mirage... that would give you back the proper stance without having to completely bottom out the height adjustment on the evo coils

you'll be fine without changing the tops but you'll just lose some travel and be much closer to the bumpstops, the worst part about having it that way is that the coils will come extremely close to the upper a-arms depending on what length springs your using

Nice!! Make sure you stay with the red&white tail lights in the trunk lid. The all red UKDM ones look like booty! lol
