Tein 2003-2005 Mitsubishi EVO III / 2006-2007 EVO IX Street Basis Z Coilovers

If you're looking to give your 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer a more aggressive stance and improved handling, the Tein Street Basis Z coilovers are a solid option. These are designed to replace your factory suspension setup, offering a significant drop in ride height and a more responsive feel on the road. They're a popular choice for Lancer owners who want to upgrade their car's performance look and feel without going for a full-blown track setup.

Tein builds the Street Basis Z coilovers with their advanced Z-type spring and a twin-tube shock absorber system. This setup is tuned to provide a noticeable improvement in cornering stability and reduced body roll, especially when you're pushing the car a bit. The damping force is pre-set, meaning you don't have to worry about making adjustments; they're ready to go right out of the box for a comfortable yet sporty ride. The lower spring seat is adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune the ride height to your preference, typically achieving a drop of about 1 to 2 inches depending on your specific Lancer model and desired look. The shocks themselves are built with durable materials to handle daily driving conditions.

When installing these coilovers, you'll be replacing your entire strut and spring assembly. It's a good idea to have a torque wrench handy to ensure all fasteners are tightened to spec, and it's always recommended to get a professional wheel alignment after installation to make sure everything is tracking straight. These coilovers are designed to fit your Lancer directly, making the installation process straightforward for someone with basic mechanical knowledge and tools.
