Thanks :) For my HID installation, I went to Ziebart on Calgary Trail.

@ karan: thanks for the info, really appreciate it. :) hope to see you around the city on of these days

nice car by the way ! same color as mine

So far:

-20% tints all around
-Injen CAI
-Greddy TI-c
-Debadged
-Polish Black grill
-Rim/tires on the way..

Pics soon?

Do you have clear tail lights? I can't tell in your display pic.

Finally got around to getting the WORKS springs installed. I'll definitely get around to taking better pics, once I get alignment done in a few days.

So far, so good. The humongous wheel gap is gone, but the drop isnt too excessive that I'll suffer in the winters here. The 18" wheels seem to fill the wells a lot better now.

looks nice, good job

Nice ride. I especially like the dual exhaust. I'm looking to do a dual exhaust like that with WORKS. How much did it cost you?

hey awsome mods everyone! :)
heres mine
1. 35% tint
2. 1 1/2 inch lower
3.18" Core racing wheels Falken high performance rubber

Decided to go out and take some pics today. The weather was baking hot and I hadnt taken a photoshoot since having the springs installed :) So here are some.

Nice pics and great looking car !

How is the shark fin ? Not having any problems with it ?

Thanks! No problems to report with the performance so far. I just wish the back of the base would remain stuck to my roof better.

Televery one why you think he made up the profile
I believe that if he's not straight with people, all should know!!!

KaranB......I love the way your car looks!

One of these days I am going to get around to buying the WORKS Pkg for the suspension like yours.


How about the likes & dislikes with it? Rides as good or worse than before?

Any problems bottoming out or hitting things since the front end is lower?
I know not by much....but it is still lower.

Thanks bro, appreciate the comments :)

For sure the car rides a lot better with the WORKS springs. Just feels way more planted and stable in the corners. Its a bit noisier when you go over bumps, so you have to watch for the big potholes...

Funny you mention, hitting things since the front is lower. I've yet to have any issues up until yesterday...

I was parking in a slot, and normally I'm very careful about leaving enough space from kerbs. Well this time I went too deep into the slot, and drove the front end over the kerb. I thought there would be enough clearance, and that it would hit the tire. But no :( And now I've got a bunch of scrapes on the underside of the front air dams. Fortunately I was only inching forward, so the scratches arent very deep. But still, I definitely learnt from that mistake and I hope other lowered Lancer owners are careful too!

When I first got my car....one of my favorite places to have the car washed at....
I couldn't drive my car through it. There is something on the under side of the car right before the fronty tires...looks like a small plastic lip on the underside.....that part was rubbing on the tracks when I tried driving it in. I didn't want to take any chances so I just backed out & washed it by hand.
I know I would never be able to have it washed anywhere if I dropped it....but that's o.k with me.
Plus the fact that our cars already have like 1 inch higher clearance over say the Honda or the Mazda....but I am still worried about the winters once I get this kit from WORKS in the future.
Glad to hear that it rides good...the bumping noise...that won't bother me....it'll go along with the rest of the road noise I already hear LOL!
Thanks for the response & your welcome.

Yeah you always gotta be extra alert and attentive once you get it lowered. Cant take any potholes and bumps for granted anymore :) Winter is going to be a whole another story...Considering sometimes our driveway gets piled up with a couple feet of snow. Its going to be interesting...

Hi Friends,
Here are the pics of my Lancer 09 ES with 18inch aftermarket wheels..

Attached thumbnail(s)

Love the chrome...Now you gotta drop it :grin:

Just finished my foglight project. 3000K HID's from MobileHID (Thanks again Clifford!) with the rally yellow overlay from Extreme Vinyls (Thanks Sergio!), and a special thanks to freakingwilly, without whom this project would not have been as easy! They look a little greenish in the pics, but thats just due to my cheap ass camera distorting the colors. They look like a pretty deep yellow in person.

I think my lowbeams were confusing the camera, so decided to take some with them off, in daylight. Hopefully these came out better.
