Here is why they look alike.... In 2009 Peugeot took stake in Mitsubishi. They did joint develooment on both the Outlander and O.S.

IIRC someone picked it up for around $300 shipped.


EDIT: hell, did I just majorly fail? What's the exchange rate put that ebay GBP price at in USD?

I've got my Eibach supplier talking to Eibach directly to see if it's possible to get these over in the US. Hopefully I can get them for around normal Eibach spring prices which are $200-250.

Good luck. I tried the same thing and Eibach refused for some reason. When I bought my springs they were only about $230. Shipping is what was so expensive. But it was only $309 for shipping and the springs. It maybe a little more or less depending on the exchange rates.

I cant get my hopes to high about these springs at 309.. as we havent even seen the drop on them. At 309 for a 1 inch drop the gap is still pretty significant; although the only option at the moment, i still like the ICS coilover drop and a half coil cut on the rear the best.

I hate the fact that the OS nose is higher than rear and that may be my first attempt to lower for now until coilovers can be justified as a purchase.

I did purchase a megan lowering spring for an evo x MR (it was a steal at less than 140 free shipping). My theory is that at the same dimensions and same spring rate a lowering spring may work to our advantage on the OS since they fit all around. we will see.

I would have interest, no reason to slam my Outlander Sport since it still has to serve winter driving duty. Let us know what can be done!
