bubblegoose Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 hey look like im not alone on this venture then if you plan on doing the starion brake up grade its a fair bit more work than i i thought it was you have 2 options the starion springs are too wide for the lancer strut towers so..... 1. (the way im doing it) the lancer struts need to be ''un-welded'' from the hubs (i cut through the hub just above the weld) then the starion struts need to be cut of at the top of the hub and a spacer made to shim the difference out, then weld the lancer strut into the starion hub im getting a certified welder to do the welding just incase i come into any doubts from the cert guy you can then use the lancer springs and its all hokey pokey 2.(the easy way but im an awkward cunt) convert the starion struts to the generic coil over kits wow wasn't that one hard i had already payed for the lancer springs when i started the conversion so No.1 was cheaper for me either way just bolt the ball joint from the lower arm into the bottom of the starion hub and your away Note: the starion hub has a longer steering arm bracket thing im not sure how this affects the car yet i haven't got that far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Look in the "technical how to" section down the bottom of the forum and find the mitsubishi thread. A user on here did the EX GSR strut swap, which are similar to Starion struts. From what I understand it's only the 1200cc models that have the narrower towers Edit: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7862 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
