because you are so quick to respond, I am going to assume shift linkage and/or shifter base bushings. check out www.kartboy.com, the evo kits fit the us lancer

You can get shifter base bushings from energy suspension as well. I think its the eclipse one which also fit our car, not sure on that though.

^ Agreed, I have asked. Wanted to put poly bushings on my front sway bar, nobody has them.

I think the better question is "Why?" Your car I would be willing to bet does not have a lot of slop. As Brian mentioned, the front sway would be the only real place needing a tougher bushing, the only reason there being to increase the effectiveness of that sway. Not only that, but if you go hard bushings all around on your car, your going to hate the ride. Just my opinion....

Very true. My only need for the Lancer is less body roll... or a hell of a lot more camber! -2 degrees front camber and I still wear my race tires on the outsides twice as fast! But since I'm going back to stock soon, I don't want the stiff suspension because it fatigues the car faster (going up on 3 wheels every time you enter a driveway is kinda stressing on the frame)
