Yeah they do sag a little. Not heaps, but they will lower in a bit more than when you first put them in. Noticed it on my Lancer with the springs and shocks, but not so much with coilovers I guess cos of how stiff they're made.

Project Hairdresser car DIY build has begun...
'96 Mirage Track car: BC RM Coilovers, 294mm Galant VR4 Brakes, 5 stud conversion, 16x8 Forged Rays MS01S, UR 23mm sway bar, UR Strut Braces, Evo 5 Recaros, MR Lancer electrics interior conversion, Engine + Exhaust in the works
nice, comforting to hear! will see how it goes.
i was already considering getting a set of H&R race springs. though they may be a bit stiff for daily driving
can get em delivered from ECS for USD$336... not bad (costs more to ship the sport ones for some reason)
hmmm may not hurt to have two different sets of springs. might need to learn how to change springs over first! surely it's not hard with a spring compressor...

i should probably do a search on how it's done... but what tool do you need?
i presume you'd only need that for the fronts
just did some reading http://fortuneman.tripod.com/suspension/install.htm
only tool they mention is a "specialty tool" to loosen the spindle from the strut
actually looks more involved than i thought. you need to lower the subframe too, and wheel alignment also...
