Switching suspension set-up from to CD9A to CE9A

[Red1]

Hi all.
My rubber on the ball joints on the control arms are all tear. To replace the ball joint means buying a new control arm. I can get my hands on some ce9a cast iron control arms. Hence I decided to do a swap from cd9a suspension to ce9a. Can someone guide me the way? What do I need?

1. Front suspension with holes for the end links -I have Teins which was made for a ce9a)
2. Lower control arms from the evo 2-3 (they are forged cast)- CAN GET
3. End links for the anti-roll bars (you can probably get these from the dealer)
4. Bushings for the anti-roll bars (most likely you will want to go with aftermarket polyurethane most likely sourced out from the UK)
5. Anti-roll bar from the evo 2-3

Anything else?

cheers

2. Lower control arms from the evo 2-3 (they are forged cast)- CAN GET yep

3. End links for the anti-roll bars (you can probably get these from the dealer) yes you can them from mits-fto are also the same

4. Bushings for the anti-roll bars (most likely you will want to go with aftermarket polyurethane most likely sourced out from the UK) pedders cc gsr(but to suit a 17mm sway bar as they dont list evo 2-3)

5. Anti-roll bar from the evo 2-3

Anything else?

You will also need a EVO II or III kframe for the extra 15mm wide track as its in the Kframe not the lower control arms, just in case you thought it was in the lower control arms.

Minor correction, CE9A control arms are cast steel, not iron.

The stock Mitsubishi bushes for the front swaybar (D bushes) are a nice stiff rubber and around $5-10 each. Not worth going to poly bushes for these in my opinion.
