Are you SURE they exist???? OBX has been saying they're making stuff for over a year now, but I have yet to see anything.

If you get OBX coilovers, you will have to upgrade your shocks to increase dampening to match the high spring rates that the OBX has. If you don't, you might be bouncing or have a bad ride.

Springs like Tein are a good way to go.

skunk2 makes excellent products, but i honestly don't think they'd be that much better.

question. have you already ordered the springs? i've been looking everywhere for someone that actually carries obx, because for some reason obx lancer parts are impossible to find.

thanks

let us know what you end up going with, and if you can do a product review and post a thread for it.

it turns out obx refunded my money because they didn't have my coilovers in stock. i just ordered skunk 2 coilovers from e3racing.com and they were a little bit more expensive. i know a couple of lancers with these coilovers and they are happy with the ride and the drop.
