Save your money, the drop kit is a waste of bucks. You can cut coils, go with a softer spring and get it to drop that way, or drop the body like pittbull says. I made a set of hard links, it basically took away all the suspension but with the slammed wheel and tire upgrade (and carefully radiused wheelwells) it looks pretty good and still is drivable.

ive heard u can use a rsx clip or i would think almost anyother gen1 clip would work for the lancer. with the skyline clip it rubs the ground though so u cant drive it with that
