OK, so I've had my outlander sport es for almost 2 years now and I'm surprised how much I love it. I didnt necessarily want it. But it was the only thing on the lot with a 5 speed so I settled. After the test drive I was sold but hate the size of the shifter. Its way too big. Its the only thing on the car (other than the crazy amount of body roll) that reminded me of the ford ranger I traded it for. So after a while of searching for an aftermarket shifter or any other suspension mods with no luck I decided to give it a year to save up some cash and let the companies make something good. So here I am, on the search again. I've come across the rrm tie bars and lowering springs and think I might order that. But still the first thing I want to buy is a sort throw shifter. Nobody seams to make one for us. So I was wondering if anybody has come across one or if the lancer one will work too. (sence the older models shared one withe the eclipse) And also what would be some good struts to pair with the springs. Will the lancer chassis supports bolt up? Will they even be worth the money scene there is a few hundred lb weight difference?

 

So I just came across the kido coil over kit. A bit pricey but just what I was looking for. Still anybody know of any other manufactures that make suspension parts? I wanna shop around a bit before I make a purchase. But like I said before. I need to buy that short throw shifter first.

 

eibach.com makes suspension parts.

 

Lancer short throw should work.

 

I agree, the shifter knob is too big and I even have ape hands. I've been looking for one similar to this:




I'll only buy a screw on type, not the allen key crap, we need an M10X1.25 thread. I just haven't be able to bring myself to spend around $80 for this yet and aliexpress.com doesn't seem to have one in this thread pattern yet.

 

there's a bunch on Fleabay ...

i would recommend the purple brass knuckles, or perhaps the Frankenstein head shift knobs.

 

I'd find a CNC metal shop and have one custom made. Get it anodized in the colour of your choice. A buddy in California made me some really cool one-off items for my boat. Really not that costly.

 

bumping this up, what year lancer short shifter works with the outlander sport?

 

I was thinking the same thing about the lancer short shifter kit, and suspension wise, i think kido coilovers would be the only option if you wanna lower it more than an inch in a half, the eibach and h&r springs only lower 1 inch or 1.3 inches

 

I would assume the 08+ lancer kits would work. I've owned an 08+ lancer and the 09+ Ralliart. The OS is similar to the lancer. I posted an "aftermarket suspension" thread with pretty much every suspension/chassis option available for the OS. And for coilovers it's in the thread but kido is not the only company, there's also Cusco as well.

 

Im unfortunately gonna probably cut my springs, not alot, just like 2 inches in the front and 1 in the back, i have a few friends that have cut springs on their Hondas and have had no problems

 

I would just save up for the coilovers. That's the next thing on my list.

 

@fluxcapacitor @OurslanderSport

I cut about 4 inches out of the stock shifter and rewelded it back. The lance shifter is the wrong pattern. I also purchased a custom shift Ralliart knob from a Turkish Company on ebay

If you purchase a spare lever I would weld it for you for FREE (you cover shipping both ways)! Then you will have no down time. Best modification I have done for my ASX!!!

This offer is open to any OS/ASX/RVR manual transmission member!
