weird,i had to do a bit of clearancing to mine..the sway bar bottomed hard enough to bend an end link..i have bbs mr rims with 255's and the dont rub except a hair at full steering lock...mine doesnt seem to be any lower than usual either...i used evo 8 front struts and tophats ,base lancer rears paired with outlander tophats and evo h&r springs all the way around..next task is getting some camber removed from the rear..

I also used the camber bolts on the front from the evo.

How did you install the Evo lowering springs on the rear. After you assemble the shock / spring assembly, doesn't the spring just flop around as it isn't the correct length?
For the camber adjustment, apparently you can cut out those welded plates on the inner lower control arm @ the center undercarriage. Those are pre-set camber plates and don't allow for any adjustment at all. Just cut the strip of weld top and bottom (4 of them) then order and use the offset toe cam bolts. Or maybe the camber bolts from an evo may work too?

Once the weight of the rear comes down it compresses the spring to keep it stationary. I didn't know about the weld plates but my camber was just slightly out of spec so I didn't really care

If in some unlikely event you get the rear wheels (or just one) to leave the ground won't that spring come out of position and when it comes back down crooked just collapse the rear and cause crazy damage? Or even just doing wheel rotations, brake changes will make it a pain to make sure they are seating correctly in those spring isolator pads. Maybe using a helper spring like the picture, keep everything tight when unloaded.

after all that i ended up going back to outlander shocks/struts and evo lowering springs...for some reason mine hated being low...first the sway bar and axles hit on the pinch welds so i clearanced that..then the front axles started binding on corners from too much angle..i may revisit lowering it after winter with stock evo springs instead of the h&r's but for now im done..

Bump for information on the rear camber kit for the 03-06 outlanders. I'm running OZ Rally Sedan struts front and back with lowering springs and outlander hats rides great other then the camber in the rear more then I would like to run.
Has anyone looked into theses

These look like they might work also.

Update for everyone on lowering the outlander right and so you do not eat tires.
Parts needed:
Evo8 lowering Spring
Evo8 front struts
03 OZ Rally Sedan rear struts
2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Rear Camber Kit Control Arms
Lancer 2008+ Megan Racing Rear Toe Arms
Shak2300--As for the exhaust it does not fit I had a evo8 one laying around it is way too short and the rear diff area is all wrong. Best thing to do is pull the old exhaust off and make a new/bigger exhaust using it as a guide.
