Need lowered springs

[solocanking]

hey just did a full evo suspension upgrade to my ce and the fronts way to high causing positive camber, can any body reccomend good springs to lower it 1.5 to 2 inches dont really want a harder spring rate though

full evo suspension? rears from an evo wont bolt up to the lancer mirage lcas

evo spring rates will be stiffer than CE rates
to lower the car you need lowering springs which will be stiffer due to having less suspension travel = stiffer and harsher ride

go back to stock and fix everything

im running evo 3 rears and evo seven fronts and lower doesnt always mean harder if you keep the same spring rate it will be a little harder due to the shocks being compressed more but nothing extreme

The positive camber most likely is not caused by the raised ride height.
The Evo LCA is longer, and it is possible that with your shorter LCA you are having camber issues

How much positive camber do you have?

also if anyone wants some input on springs from my experience
Kings - they sag and are soft/bouncy
Lovells/pedders - less sag, stiff
Dobinsions - my choice, not too hard or soft or bouncy and are variable rate. pre-sagged in factory - hit up malaga springs.

(btw malaga springs is in perth. i'm guessing you're not in perth tho)

its cause the shock spring combo is set up for heavier car, when they compress, it all falls back to normal geometry, id be guessing at about 0.5 degree positive camber, but theres a fair chance your right with the lower control arm thing, i wouldnt know to be honest, and these dobinsons springs, where would i get a set

Just call around your local suspension shops, or wheel/tire sellers etc and see what they have on offer and for how much.

If you lower it, and get camber pins and you still have camber issues then it's likely the shorter LCA

what are camber pins and i dont really have any suspension shops round here

 

[Spetz]

They are offset pins which bolt on where the strut/knuckle meet, and allow for camber adjustment.
If you want to avoid lowering your car then I would look into these.
The ones in Australia are pretty expensive, but you can get some from ebay US for peanuts.

Basically these things, and you rotate them to the desired camber setting and then secure them:

What did you do so the evo7 strut fits the ce knuckle?

 

[solocanking]

i lathed up a spacer thats a sleave and washer in one and the bolted straight up, i used my existing ce strut tops though

im selling up if any ones interested
