One last question about the Lancer....

What is the brake setup on there? Did you just switch out the pads, and if so what are you using? If you went with a new setup Im assuming it was custom built and not available? Thanks!

Lancer has stock DE discs all around (not sure how I got discs on my DE, but I'm not complaining) with custom cut pads (e-brakes.com) and brake ducts. They are adequate for stock hp, but not much more.

Evo has stock front, 4 piston upgraded rear, floating rotors all around, ducts and a bias control.

It sounds like you're referring to the KONI 2817s, a monotube shock mounted in an inverted (twin-guide) enclosure. They are a semi-finished strut, that have a removable sleeve to which you weld application-specific ears.

I use the KONI 8611s, which are inserts meant to go into a complete custom fabricated strut housing and cannot be welded on. That would surely destroy them and probably other things in the immediate vicinity.
