20080, I have been searching for the rear sway bar kit (control arms and whatnot) Posted by Nackers, Sep-21-03 04:27 PM
In case the title wasn't very clear I need the parts to hook up a rear sway bar. We just ordered the suspension techniques front and rear bars and need to get the kit to put the rear one on. I seen that mach v sells a kit for 160 but I remember somewhere that sold a kit for like 125 or something. Anyone know?

Just order the parts from one of our friendly mitsu dealers that give a 2gnt discount.
You could also just go to your local mitsu dealer and order the parts. They should not take more than 2-3 days to get in.
Here is what you need since you will have the sways and poly bushings.
You're going to need several things to do this install. First off, you will need to order the parts. Tallahassee Mitsubishi has a great selection of parts ready to be shipped. They even offer a 20% discount for Club DSM members! The general number for the dealership is "1-888-825-5648". The original parts list came from Rich Benner, Jr. The following is my updated version:
Amount needed Part Number List Price Your Price
2 brackets mb515245 $4.98 $3.98ea 4 bolts mf241251 $.50 $.40ea 4 nuts mb288653 $.65 $.52ea 2 links mb892982 $12.47 $9.98ea 2 arms mr131754 $39.28 $31.42ea
My guess is it will be roughly $105 shipped.
Here is the link to the mods section off our main page. http://2gnt.com/www/corbin/sway.html

I found that RMDSM had a write up on how much it *should be for everything and it came to 145. Not to bad, but I am going to goto the mitsu dealer tommarow and see what they say. Also I am going to goto the dodge dealer though RMDSM said that it would be cheaper at mitsu. Thanks for you help man:thumbsup. Both of ya.

Be careful. Some exhausts have trouble with the GSX RMDSM rear swaybar. You may have to get your exhaust raised or muffler/piping repositioned to fit properly.
My suggestion is just to buy the FWD RMDSM sways instead. Suspension techniques are another good choice. Their rear sway bar extends far enough out that it does not interfere with fwd or awd model vehicles. Their rear bar is also thicker than rmdsm, but may not be stiffer since the design is different.
Also the suspension techniques front sway is adjustable. I have it set on the stiffest setting. If you have adjustable struts, this can be a blessing as it is easier to make a neutral handling car having struts and sway to adjust.

We ordered the suspension techniques front and rear for the FWD. We also have the N1 so clearence shouldn't be a problem (so I am told). Yes we do have illumnias and ground controls so I am hoping to find a neutral balance so that the car just flies around corners totally smooth:). Once we get them on I am going to play around with the settings, but I will also post to see what everyone elses setup is. And once again, thanks for you help. I greatly appreciate it.
