Lower drop could be a shock killer. Just be careful. No word from Eibach on Sportlines.

while a lower drop may be a shock killer, both the pro kit and the sportline kit have been engineered to lower the car without any dangerous side effects that the coilovers have. The sportlines will lower the car on most cars about 2" and eibach says that it all depends on the safe lowering amount on each car.

No pics yet, just got the springs. Pro kit lowers car about an inch and a 1/3 (front) and rear 1 inch. I think it is the way to go if you plan to put a front lip on the car or body kit later. It should look hard with 17 inch wheels. If not slam it and cut the bump stops.

ROAD///RACE LANCER EXHAUST

This exhaust uses a high-flow Magnaflow Race Series muffler. Muffler is stainless steel as is dual wall tip 3.5 inch tip. This is not a cat-back system but it will fit with Road Race cat-back section which is soon to follow. Exhaust piping is increased to 2.25 inches to increase volume of gas without losing velocity of exiting gases.

3 IN STOCK!
The link for ya

Catback section should be about $130 ish. Comes with lotss of flanges gaskets and hardware. That make price a little high. Have to be two piece otherwise shipping will be a million dollars. Call us to make an appointment for install on springs and shifter. Install both for about $140.

spring and shock combo

ILP is an eibach dealer, how does Eibach pro kit springs and koni double adjustable struts sound for $1430.

or with single adjustable struts for $1030

sorry it costs so much but the struts all need to be hand built.

Ok, we are WAY familair with the tein springs, RUN don't walk away from them. We put them on a Subaru (got a sample set) and we needed to use 2 springs from their "medium" set on the front and 2 from their "soft" kit on the rear to get anything that resembled decent handling. The soft progressive windings are fully compressed at rest. Just a poorly thought out kit.

As far as us we almost exclusively use Eibach since they are an affordable quality product, and most of them are made in America.

Also the dampers we use are matched to the springs we sell, it's a waste of money any other way, unless you get lucky.
