So if I get this right, coilovers are the whole thing (shock and spring), but with the adjustable ride height feature, and springs are just... well, springs? I am not too familiar with suspension, so I am pretty confused about this topic. Does anyone make a coilover set for the lancer? Cuz I have seen many springs out there

The only coilover system that I know of for the Lancer is the system from Megan.. I'm pretty sure that the ones from Tien are just the springs as well as the ones from RRM..

Megan Racing, BC Racing, and Tien (Basics).... these I know for sure, might be more in production.

So is the extra $600-$800 worth it? How is the ride compared to just lowering springs?

If you are going for looks, stick with springs. Just my opinion...

Coils will be more functional. Obviously the main advantage would be that you can easily adjust your ride height to a specific level for specific purposes. Springs alone will give you that drop but that's the only drop you get. Can't really fine tune or anything..
