maybe its just mine, but i noticed the springs are clapping esp the dead coils (progressive design)
i looked it up recently, and its common to prokit. its nothing major tho.
some in other similar club 9glancers ppl had the same case.. but again it can be eliminated.

Might be the struts/shocks need changing due to the lower springs ???

From what I understand, you don't need to change the shocks if you lower less than 2". One reason why I went for Eibach's Pro Kit. I'm simply changing the springs and nothing else.

Someone more aware can elucidate further.

Ideally the OEM struts aren't the best if you're after performance handling, but they will suffice. King springs have the same if not greater drop than Eibachs and the struts on mine are fine. I would expect them to prematurely fail though compared to a normal height lancer...

didnt want to discourage you from getting it, and definitely stock strut is enough for prokit. Ryan is right, ideally aftermarket strut would be good for lowered springs than oem, but not lowering more than 2" the struts will not be taking a hard beating.

Just wondering if this group buy is going ahead? Would love the invoice dated before the end of July for obvious reasons ;)

Right we have 2 pull outs.

I really need to know how many of those left are committed.

Just wondering if this will go ahead? I have been talking to shadows about some stuff, would love to know how silly I can go with body parts ;) I have obviously secured funds for this and the EBC stuff and don't want to end up short.

im still keen, but i need a time frame.

ive got the money set aside for them, but if its goign to be a while (i.e. we need x amount of people buying these before we go with an order) im going to use the money elsewhere and will just get a set of springs later on.
