04 Lancer Ralliart parts on 03 Lancer?
i did some search but just couldn't find the answer...
im wondering is it possible to put those parts from a 04 Ralliart on a 03 OZ?
im thinking abt the strut bar....

I looked into the possibility of this when I went and test drove a Ralliart...
Id have to say the bar will not fit. It seems the intake manifold on the Ralliart is a shorter piece, so the throttle body assembly doesnt stick up as high. I dont think the Ralliart bar will clear the throttlebody assembly on 02-03 Lancers. I could be wrong. Also, you would need to fabricate a mount for the part of the bar that bolts onto the firewall. It seems there is a lip on the firewall of the Ralliart that the bar bolts into, but thats absent on 02-03 Lancers.
If you end up trying it out, good luck and keep us posted. Personally though, I would just buy a RMR strut tower brace, it seems to be almost as beefy and it would probably mean less headaches than the Ralliart one.
