Posted by Black Cotton, Nov-22-09 08:02 AM
A guy on another forum posted this up, and I thought it was a good thing to share with the community, some of you may know this information, some may not.

pros: tubular construction insted of stamped and according to write ups do not weigh much more if not the same as our factory arms.

parts are super cheap to do the LCA and sway bar swap: parts list via Mitsubishi with prices.

Rear sway bar bushing / MR272717 / List $4 ea, Net $3.00 ea <$2.95 ea>
Rear sway bar bushing bracket / MR369748 / List $6.35 ea, Net $4.75 ea <$1.36 ea>
Rear sway bar bushing bracket bolt / MF241281 / List $6.10 ea, Net $4.56 ea <$0.94 ea>
Lower control arm left / MR369664 / List $65.30 ea, Net $48.94 ea <$30.71 ea>
Lower control arm right / MR369665 / List $65.30 ea, Net $48.94 ea <$30.71 ea>
Rear sway bar / MR369694 / List $86.80 ea, Net $65.06 ea <$44.56 ea>
Rear sway bar end link / MR333762 / List 42.35 ea, Net $31.75 ea <$14.78 ea>
Rear sway bar end link nut / MB288653 / List $6.85 ea, Net $5.13 ea <$0.94 ea>


the prices in the [] are what I paid at my local mitsubishi.

the upper control arms do however limit travel abotu 1/2" however upon reviews from a few members on other forums whom are lowered on 1.8" eibachs, they have yet to bottom out with these arms and the drop on DD cars.

also note the factory 3g rear sway bar is a 19mm, however their are 22mm or close to 7/8" rear sway bar replacements found on ebay.
