Should be, look up the part numbers on Autozone.com to compare.

This is wrong. They are different due to having different heads.

I looked it up and they have the same part number for all the brands I looked at. What do you mean different heads?

Evo VIII=Non MIVEC


Evo IX=MIVEC


They have different heads, different combustion chambers, therefore different plugs.

Oh, thought you were talking about the heads of the spark plugs. I was like WTF.

Anyways, I wish I had the mitsu part numbers to compare. Maybe you can call a stealership and ask what the part numbers are.
