Yeah I guess I am a bit spontaneous! Though I had to take out a small loan to afford the turbo kit, but I find people wont take notice unless its Turbod.

Couple new pics to show you...

These are my new Forged Aluminium Evo front arms, coupled with Mitsubishi Outlander sway bar endlinks. Being clever like that allows you to use the Evo arms with the lancer sway bar!

I got them because there is an issue with stock lancer front arms, they SNAP if abused or can be factory lemons!

The front arms attach in exactly the same way and are the same size as the normal lancers ones. Indeed, when making the Evo, all Mitsubishi did was changed the lancer arms to these ones, and left everything else the same!

The other two bits of metal are rear differential mounts.

god damn dude.

i always wondered about this. concidering evos have the 2.0L, and if we put the turbo and awd in our 2.4L, i dont see why it wouldnt smoke a stock evo.

keep us updated with pics and maybe even video's. especialy when its done.

again

I'm bookmarking this post. I'll be replacing my struts by spring (they're already blown, but I'm low on cash) and while I'm at it I'm going to pick up some Evo control arms from a wrecked Evo(s) and throw them on. Even with insurance, I can't afford a catastrophic car failure.

Look what you've done, made me come back to EvonM.

Just to reiterate those two metal bits (rear diff mounts) are from and outlander, possibly 2004?

If you post the part # that would be great.

Diavlo... Can you do me a favor and compare your stock Lancer arms with those EVO ones? The reason why I mention this is because I am fairly certain that you're going to realize that they're not the same.
