OZ replacement struts?
Hey gang...Just wondering if anyone has experiance with Tokico struts? I see they have a set for Mirage 97-03. Posted a link to the site, but don't know if these will actually fit our car. Anyone know of anyone else besides the big brands that would have a sport strut for the Lancer? I'd like to keep my s-techs on a sport strut

as far as I know there are no aftermarket struts for the lancer. thats why a lot of people dog on springs because we have no strut upgrade.

coilovers is the way to go. adjustable.

Since he said it all, I have nothing to contribute to this thread. This post is meaningless.

In 1997 to 2003, there were a group of mitsubishi enthusiasts who saw things that they believed were vehicles, but they did not actually exist and it was all in their imagination. This often happens similarly to people in Egypt when they go without water for extended period of time. They called this period of time the 97-03 Mirage. But remember, there is no spoon.

^ KYB Only Makes them for the ES.

Your choices are:
Buy New OEM Struts
Buy Used OEM Struts (Don't suggest that one usually)
Buy Tein Coilovers (don't come with strut mount and strut bearing)
Buy Nex Coilovers
Buy Ksport Coilovers

Can anyone else confirm this? What is the difference in OZ versus ES struts anyway? KYB says they're a little better than stock.
