Just trying to see if anyone knows the part #'s for the three stock frame braces that connect under the tranny. Bought a used 9, and they werent there for some very odd reason. A reasonable replacement for them would be awesome too. Thanks guys!

stock ones do just fine. Try mitsubishiparts.net

Got any part numbers? I cant tell by name what they are and any diagrams from Mitsu are horrid.

If you are talking about the flimsy tie bars that rattle on the downpipe .... I havent had those on the car in years. I dont think they even do anything.

To the op I dont have a part # for you but just so you are aware there are only 2 not 3 bars. And to the people who say they dont do anything, while I am sure their effectiveness is quite marginal, they do serve a purpose or else the mitsu engineers wouldnt have wasted their time. Its not going to be a night and day difference but why bother getting rid of them?

Go with a 'square' box-like/4-point design like Cusco. That will work better! That was one of the first mods I ever did...

Yea. I was reading that they're supposed to help the sub-frame from spreading appart during heavy loads (WOT). But I don't know if it makes a HUGE difference or not.

^ It all depends what you want out of your car, your expectations now, and for later on. A four point chassis bar versus two separate bars WILL make a difference...Huge? No. But, down the road if you plan other bars and sway bars, this chassis brace will 'fit part of the puzzle' and combined with everything else, it WILL make a difference. I have all the complete Cusco chassis braces, swar bars, etc. I can feel the difference while corning, etc. If you are into suspension and handling, this bar is a defenite start in the RIGHT Direction and better than stock...
