Henry's recomendation might be different. But Bc reds should be enough. I know Henry does custom spring rates so he could help you with the ride if you do so purchase threw him. But Id go with something like 5kg front and 4kg rear if you arent all about cornering all the time. But again. Henry will advise you on what would work a bit better i think. Oh and your probably looking at around 1-1.2k depending on who you buy and that sort of thing.lancer1993 said:I'm looking at doing some upgrades for my 93 CC Coupe, not to sound cheap but what is the minimum cost for coilovers for normal road use, but something I can adjust the hight down a little. Currently there is about a 5cm clearance at the top of the wheel arch (maybe a little more at the front) which I'd like to cut in half and leave maybe 2-3 cm gap but without anything bottoming out or scrapping when loaded passengers in the back. And not to sound old but I don't want a harder ride. I'm currently running 15" 195/50 and have no plans to go bigger just yet.
springs should outlast the vehicle.lancer1993 said:I've always found the Lancer Coupe great in corners, whether it's an open road or roundabout. So as long as it's as good or better I'm fine with that.
FYI I checked the local dealer on price, for standard replacement parts and OMG, first they can't get front springs anymore, and the rest (springs and shock) will cost over $2k, and that's before fitting! Now I know from car dealers as a trade-in my car is only worth about $1000 and it's a good 93 GLXi which is pretty much standard apart from bigger wheels, some subtle side skirts, bootlid spoiler. Why would the average driver ever get genuine parts for a 20 year old car?
Thanks for the info, I'm looking at doing a cat-back first but the suspension is next on the list, might need some help installing when the time comes.
