What was the length of spring you got? Stock fronts are 200mm and stock rears are 220mm, so a Swift spring will be slightly taller/shorter as they are in 1" increments. I got the whole car re-aligned and corner balanced during the install. The Swift's didn't settle like the stock springs did, and certainly not like lowering springs do.

They don't list a RA/Lancer coilover for our generation, only for an Evo (go figure) which is $2100.

I did the same thing you did, just went with 6k rear springs instead of 7k.
The 200 front, 220 rear measurement is for the EvoX, the Lancer (coilover model B-19) lists the spring heights at 200 front, 180 rear. So that measures up to an 8" front and 7" rear spring, which is what you had said on EvoM, and that's what I ordered.

These are the springs that were pulled from the BC's on Wednesday:
The fronts read 62.200.006, and the rears read 180L-4KG. So, that means the front springs are 6kg/mm and 200mm in length, while the rears are 4kg/mm and 180mm in length.
Sstevo, can you confirm if these were the same springs you pulled from your BC's since we both had the same "default" issue?
