Cool writeup on the wiki. The one thing I might add to it is a suggestion about getting the car aligned. Changing the ride height will change the camber. Any change in negative camber will give you toe in. This will scrub the inside of the tires faster than you would think.

Good suggestion. I did take pics right after the install, but they were at night and didn't come out so well. Which tein's are you getting?

I agree with the previous comments and would also like to add something about the "Stabilizer Link Mounting Nut" on the front suspension. Some years (I know my 99) didn't have the 14 mm box wrench backing on it, just around surface. Might want to add that in there for some people as they might get confused (as I did when I did my suspension install on the 99). Overall very good writeup!

So they should have the pillow-ball top mounts? If so, you should post some pics.

Yeah, I have no idea why they did that. If you go and get that part for replacement though, they include a part with the 14 mm wrench backing. Probably a way for Mitsu to save some money :thumbsdown

That means alot comin' from you Terry. Thanks. I still plan on puttin' up some pics of the car lowered. What I didn't realize was that Corbin wrote up a suspension change awhile ago, that is very similar :shrug. Thanks to all who fed-back. :thumbsup
