no I haven't but I think it will make it smoother on turns and make it alittle aerodynamic. they're selling parts in RRM

if you have sunny weather all year like Cali or Florida I will lower my car but New Englang forget it. I won't dare lower my car because of ice and snow.

goodluck

I have coilovers and the ride is bumpy...a great drop is the TEIN s-techs. Keep in mind they do fit but the spring rate is not designed for the heavier 08...SpeedCorp.com has them, pm crypto.

Wow the Lancer Looks so Nice when it's Lowered. I envy you sunny weather States. can't do mine in New England too much snow and my engine will be so dirty if ILOWER my car.

I haven't lower my carand the engine compartment is already so white and dirty

Got to Clean it soon though.

Nice pics by the way.

Whats a safe distance to lower and not have to worry about speed bumps or hittin a curb when you park? if there is one. I like the lowered look but I dont want it so low that I have to go over ever speed bump at a 45* angle.

Is it just me or does the front end naturally sit lower than the rear?

to me, my front looks higher ( bigger gap between top of tire and wheel well)

i would love to lower just the front 1/2" to 1".
