im pretty sure evo frame is wider. And i know its way more stiff and rigid then the lancer frame. it would honestly probably be more cost efficient to buy an empty evo shell and sell your lancer

Don't be foolish. Buy an Evo if you want one. With current used car prices and the market, you can pick one up cheaper then a new Honda Civic.

That really only applies to people with evo's who are desperate to sell them, the ones who have them and won't budge on their prices will still sell them it just takes time and the right buyer.
