I have never driven lowered mitsubishi that I liked, except for my own. in which I dont use a lowering spring. mitsu shocks have very little travel to start with. shortening the travel kills the strut in short order . I lower my cars by redrilling mount in the rear. and in the front I lower the perch on the strut itself. that way you get a lowered car with factory ride unaltered. thats the way the blue car is done. but even then it doesnt fly over the speed tables like the evo 4 does.

I have driven dozen diffferent lowering springs on mitsubishis. none of which met my needs.

to each his own on the lowering thing. I prefer nice riding car.

plus the front spoiler would get killed first week driving around tampa. notice evo 1 doesnt have front spoiler. it would live if it had one. the lower bumper scrapes regularly as is. thats why I decided against evo3 conversion on the car. the evo 3 front spoiler makes the car in the looks catagory as does evo 4 spoiler, but it wouldnt survive.
