WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR LOWERING MY 2003 Lancer ES???

Man - so I got to les schwab tires (based in NW) and they order me an Eibach KIT (those tards) and they go to install them and of course they don't fit the ES model. So I don't know what my options are-

I have a 2003 Lancer ES, I need to lower it about 1-1.5 inches because I just got rims put on (17s)

which brand of springs fit the Lancer ES and how much drop do they give the car? Does any company make coilover springs for the lancer 2003 ES?

please let me know my options here... sorry I am a newbie and this is a newbie post I guess
thanks for your help though peoples!

www.roadracemotorsports.com has Progress spings for the ES that lowers them 1.7 inches all around. That is what I am getting.

The progress spring for the Lancer ES is the same as the Mirage 2000. Check on progress site. I will probably try the Eibach spring for Mirage 2000 on my Lancer ES next summer.

i think of the two, i'd most def go w/ the h&r. from what i hear, they're eibach quality (so no sagging) and the drop isn't as dramatic as the progress. progress is cheaper tho, so i guess it's however much you're willing to spend

I take a look on the H & R web site.... They never talk about spring for the Lancer ES. Lancer ES don't have the same springs and shocks that you found on the Lancer OZ or LS.

I spoke to H&R during the summer time and they said they're still testing them. But give them a call and see..
