I think you got them from Road Race Motorsports next door? The Lancer shop? I am the EVO shop. We sell the springs for $220 shipped within the lower 48 states.

Dont worry I made the same mistake when I was first order'd from RRE I got it confused with RRM. Actually I ordered from RRM thinking its from RRE.
What confused noobie I was. :D You want parts from RRE not RRM!!!
Actually where you buy parts is totally up to you, but buy from RRE. :p
Mike W will have more reason to post technical stuff/data for our car. :cool:

The spring rate for the Prancer springs is -1.5 and the way the spring travels is counterclockwise.

Once bolted onto our Ralliarts it would actually lift the car instead of lowering it thus causing damage to the shocks and the radio.

I am the original. Rob Tallini is RRM. He drives the shop race cars and was running Carbontrix. Back in 2001 (pre-EVO) RRE did a turbo conversion for a Prancer for Modern Image that was a SEMA car. Rob was looking for more to do and I wanted to specialize in just the Eclipses and turbo Mitsus.

So I gave him the non turbo Mitsus to play with. He put the RRE turb ointo production as a mail order kit and specialized in the Prancer line. Later we did a turbo for a Tiburon for Hyundai so he does a bit of Hyundai stuff too. Then a Mitsu marketing guy left Mitsu and went to work @ Suzuki. He flipped us some Suzuki work for a SEMA project. RRE made a turbo kit for the car and RRM made all the other stuff. RRM markets the that kit and gets into some cool Suzuki work.

I stick to all EVO and Eclipse. The RalliArt is a little of LAncer and EVO. Since it is factory turbo from Mitsu, then we do it on our side. Tallini has a customer that built him a foo-foo shopping cart website and things that ovelap a bit they have on their site.

In the beginning RRM was selling Progress Lancer springs for the RalliArt. I dont know what they are pushing now. We just sell the Progress RalliArt springs for the RalliArt. They list some rotors for the RalliArt that they think fits but we know they dont. I dont have a customer to build me a foo-foo shopping cart website.

If it looks like some mechanics built my website back in 1996... well it is because some mechanics built my website back in 1996. Working on a foo-foo one. But really there are not a lot of parts for the RalliArt. We tend to be a bit more selective in what we sell, wait and see how it works over time. I am getting there. If you need parts for your RalliArt, let me know. I can get it or make it. Locals here know the shop and what we do.

I started a big thread with a ton-o-pics on the Progress springs for the RalliArt. In the suspension forum here.

Bottom line, stick to RRE for better service and prices on RalliArt parts.

Yeah Mike & RRE stuck with us even when other shops left us.
Mike & RRE provide us with solid info & he continue to do so. :cool:
I actually met Mike in person when I went to RRE BBQ for RA owners & Free Dyno pulls. He is a great guy & his prices are better. So what more can you ask for? more mike? :D

Could you elaborate why the rotors won't fit? Do we share the same rotors as the base Lancer?

The replacement rotors that the big brake companies have listed as fitting are too thick. If you were putting them on with new pads they dont fit.
