    What are you trying to do? Use different control arms?

    That's the plan if the Evo 4-6 aluminum arms bolt on with minimal work.

    What is the main purpose for wanting different control arms?

    Better suspension performance, like a marathon runner wouldnt wear heavy snow boots and socks. It would put too much wear and tear on their knees, muscles, tendens and exhuast themselves. Thats why they wear light weight shoes, thats the gist of it.

No, you would need the tubular subframe.
    It has to be close geometrically, when Evo LCA are bolted on mirage/lancer the wheel is move forward but on your 8G it does not have the same effect. The Evo 5 to 9 have about the same wheel track; the Evo 5 LCA is pretty much looks like the 8G LCA, the Evo 6 LCA changes to a two piece design with the ball joint in the knuckle. I heard Evo X front LCA will widen the track by nearly two inches.

    Yea its tru but youll have to make rod extensions for the tie rods. You can always see if the evox tie rod fits the new application but again you run into the issue of the rear mount of the lca being turned 180 degrees from the 8g orientation.

    It would have to be extremely modified, and come to think of it i think they ARE different in size front to back. I say that because the bolt that goes through the rear lca on my subframe goes straight through and bolts into the unibody. Same bolt hole that old subframe attaches to. Its not a nut and bolt on its own like the 8g, so they would have to be a difference in dimensions maybe not so much the geometry.

    If you thumb back to those photos youll be able to see what im talking about.

    I apologize but I made a mistake, it does not bolt straight through to the uni-body. Its a nut and bolt so its probably alot closer in demensions then I thought. I believe on the evo it bolts straight through to the chassis, thats probably what I wss thinking of.

    I always found the Raider as the most useful model as it can take me to the city as well as to any hard surface out of it. The extended cab model also has a bed included and recently it's proven a great benefit as I have more and more time to spend with my wife travelling, and we like sleeping in the outbacks. Let apart that Raider is a 5 seater, so we also take family or friends with us, and we never had the slightest issue with getting stuck even in the wetter conditions out in the mountains. All of these great moments would not be possible without finding randomly best side hustles and started renting my car as a full time job. I rent my Corolla on a regular basis having learned that from scratch myself with the help of these folks. That has given me the chance of using more and more my Raider for things I love doing and if you want to do the same this one is a must-see to say the least.
