I am having a hard time finding any evidence.... hopefully someone can help me outh ere. I have contacted Roadracemotorsports, but no reply. Can someone else here please tell me, They offer a performance suspension package with lowering springs for the Lancer. I have looked at the two vehicles and the suspensions basically look the same, but I cannot find matching part numbers anywhere, or any part numbers for that matter. Can someone please give me an answer, I am excited to be able to lower my Outlander a couple inches........thanks in advance

Front and rear lower control arms arm basicly the same (Link dimensions are exactly at same point except for swaybar link attachements but Outlanders has both). Lancer rear control arm have double cuped inserts for double bushing end links wHile Outlander has a bracket weld on top for ball and shoulder endlink but it is also punched for double bushing minus upper cup. Front also has both endlink attachements but swaybar on Lancer is narrower and smaller radius depending on R/T or sedan.The Outlander has a 26 mm radius while lancers has 24 and 22 radius bars. Dog bones in the rear are same lenght but heavier on Outlander. Upper Control arms are same exact dimensions but thickness is doubled on Outlander. Here is where it gets a little complicated. Since the suspension is designed to tilt the top of rear wheels inwards as the wheel travels upwards you will need to knock the camber centering plates from the midlle rear crossmember so you can insert eccentric camber bolts ( that you can get from your Mitsubishi dealer because they are the same has the toe-in eccentric bolts: for about 6$ each. So what I'm saying is the Lancer lowering kit shoudl work on your Outlander although I've personnaly never done this MOD on an Outlander because I like to clear curbs. Hope this helps. Oh for your information rear swaybar is 16 mm just so you don't have to crawl underneath to measure it.
