If the fronts are available....what site are they on? I checked the KYB site and did a search on yahoo and nothing came up. If I remember correctly didnt the rear struts on the mirage fit up to our cars? If they did then we have a full set now.

I gotta question and I dunno if some of you guys have seen it or not, but on visionimports.com if you look under shocks for the mitsubishi lancer, it has some shocks from koni and kyb. Are these fer real or what?

My understanding is that these two listings are either for terminated Mirage models, or maybe it was non-USDM Lancers?

Either way, I think it was pretty well covered that those particular shocks don't fit the USDM Lancer. The subject comes up every few months when someone comes across those particular models by Koni and KYB.

But hopefully this'll be different.

They'll probably be non-adjustable gas-filled GR2's. The Ralliart shocks were basically the same thing, and presumably they'd still be available in some form or another if you looked hard to see which cars the parts were originally sourced from.

i have the strange feeling it's not adjustable bec i checked websites that carry kyb's and say that the kyb gr2 strut for the mirage has this part # 333225 and the agx ones start at part # 734011. so this means that the part # 333382 for the lancer is just a gr2 gas strut.. that sucks.. i emailed them and waiting for their reply
