Shocks & Struts for Mirage:
KYB GR-2
KYB AGX
Koni Sport
Tokico
The Bilsteins are their lesser TC model, not the HD or Sport, so I wouldn't bother. But if you're willing to spend more, Tein, H&R, D2, and TODA Racing make coilover systems for the Mirage.

I would suggest Bilstein over GR2 / Tokico if you are looking for non-adjustable strut replacement....

Black97: If I'm not mistaken, the '02-'06 Lancer and the 5th gen. Mirage coupes & sedans have the same mounting locations/mounts for the engine and transmission.
As much as I would like a 2.4 MIVEC engine from a Lancer RalliArt, or an Evo's 4G63 in my 98 Mirage coupe, that would put me in Street Modified class (Auto X), and I would be slaughtered by better rides. I'm already having a tough time in STS class, but I've posted some decent times.
My last mod was a Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar. It made a big difference.

Black97,
You should have already know that on the mirage board. There are a couple of threads on the topic already.
G93 vs G94
Different wire harness & sensor location . . . can't confirm the cali spec G93 . . . which will affect a G93 ecu from reading it properly w/o going into severe limp mode. Find ADAM, the guy w/ the Evo swapped mirage. He's the forefather of the G94 swap into a mirage.
Otherwise, Just follow AQ to bore the block +.5 mm w/o the hassle of electrical gremlins or reducing your redline by 500 rpm from a G94 short block. If you really want to be creative, see if the G94 crank can be use w/ G93 rods w/o making the piston head crashing into the cyl head (G93 block).
DIM and I had thought of this long ago, but no one has ever proven its viability. Forgot to ask AQ to do this before his rebuild.
As for a G69 swap from a RA, not worth the headache . . . look at the area in the mirage where the assesory belts are located . . . in the RA, it has the throttle cable there. Instead look at the G69 in the 4g eclipse, the throttle cable is located in its rightful place. Then again, corpsing a 4g eclipse will cost you and arm and leg like find an ITR motor at a scrap yard.

So are there different headers for different mirage engines or are they all the same? Basically, if I get an aftermarket header for a mirage, will it fit my 2004 lancer or will there be fitment problems anywhere?
