Re: Modding your Evo, ~$100 at a time! ***temp placeholder***

Short Shifter: reduce that shifter throw!
-Ebay/Fidanza Short Shifter ~$40+ shipped, includes shifter base bushings!
Also call Brookdale Mitsu and get $20 in parts to make your install a breeze: Upper pivot cup (part # MR246296 Retainer+gearshif) and #MR232147 (2) tiny cups for ball ends

Shifter Base Bushings: These stiffen up the rubbery base feel of the stock shifter mount. They are INCLUDED in the ebay/fidanza short shifter kit listed above.
-Speed Source $29
-AMS $35

Underhood shift bushings: These get rid of the rubbery feeling at the end of the cables. Do the above 3 all at once for the ultimate shifter setup!
-Speed Source $29 shipped
-Buschur $30
-AMS $35

tranny fluid change: Will improve shifting. Change every 15-30k miles depending on conditions.
-Redline Cocktail: 2x MT-90, 1x MTL ~$30 from most retailers

front motor mount: New motor sound and awesome shifting!
-BLOX: $75 shipped. Replaces whole mount, very nice, we use these.
-Buschur, AMS, RRE, etc sell replacement bushings (~$35) if you want to spend some time with a hammer and a screwdriver

Rear Anti-Sway bars: The first step to improving your suspension! Reduces understeer making the car handle more neutral. All are over $100, all are worth it. Unbolt your lower control arms for easy install. All come with new poly bushings.
-RoadRaceEngineering (RRE) $180, billet mounts, track tested.
-Buschur: $199, billet mounts.
-Whiteline: $175 shipped (24mm adjustable), reuses stock mounts (preferred by some), best bang for the buck.

$25 shipped on eBay

Evo RS Trunk Bar: Factory trunk brace on Evo RS models, easy installation.
-Available at any Mitsubishi dealership (be sure to order the needed bolts too)
-MAP: $46.33


Rear Diff Bushings: eliminates rear-end thump, slight noise increase, quicker power transfer to the ground.
-Energy Suspension: $50, includes mustache bar bushings. PITA to install, need to cut/press out old bushings.
-Beatrush: $59, poly inserts, doesn't replace entire stock bushing for quck/easy install.

Driveshaft Bushings: reduce noise, tighten up driveshaft!
-Beatrush: solid aluminum, $65 easy installation
