sorry I have never been overly convinced of that style of dampener - I believe that people have had some very good results but others have said that by the time they finished making the nessicary modifacations to it they would of been better off making there own...

i know while the header is expensive and the other parts on your list are so much cheaper they are the only true way to make the car more throttle responsive and will create power for you.... have you checked the top dyno list or hp to see what mods others have and what hp they have you will see that all have a header of some kind...

It is good that you are asking questions it is the only way to learn and make up your own mind about how to best spend your money

1. asking
2. doing it yourself


number 2 has worked well for me with my computer technician work, but to do that on a car.....slightly more expensive, i dunno how many computers ive trashed, i dont want to do that with my car. lol

you can remove the anti lift kit as it has been tested and doesnt fit.

Anti lift kit it helps/reduces the movement in the front end ofthe car it basicly strengthens and adds more stability - you know when you take off very quickly and the front end of the lifts up.... the anti lift kit reduces this I also found that in general high speed (circuit racing 180klm+) I also found thatthe car didnot have that floating feeling... it really did feel much more stable

As far as I was aware there is a kit out there I think it depends on branding here in Australia we tend to use the Whiteline products very extensively... as far as cost go only $80 AUD but you should check with RPW and see if they are available they are not a big item so if they need to be shipped pricing on that will be minimal as well

Sorry to have to have been the bearer of bad news- I really wanted the anti lift kits to work because they increased caster in addition to the improved traction from the front end not lifting (increasing caster gives faster return to center when turning, which would have been awesome for autocross). Unfortunately the front control arms had major revisions from the 5th gen Mirage to our Lancers and there's no way to get equivalent performance enhancements through bushings.
