Mitsubishi Outlander and Mirage Coilovers

Mitsubishi reused names: there is the Outlander and the Outlander Sport, and the Mirage and the Lancer/Mirage. Kits are named for the badge, not the body shape. This page has the Mitsubishi Outlander and Mirage coilovers we carry, plus a Dodge Colt kit: thirteen kits, from 1988 to the current Outlander.

Call 1-800-460-9106 with your VIN and we will find the right coilovers.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

How to tell which kit is yours

Check these three things before you order.

The exact name

No kit on this page is named for the Outlander Sport or the Lancer/Mirage.

Front drive or AWD

KW's Outlander kits are named 4WD. BC's say FWD/AWD up to 2013, and AWD after.

Years with no kit

No Outlander kit is listed for 2021, and we carry no kit for a 2008 to 2013 Mirage.

BC Racing coilovers for the Outlander and Mirage

BC Racing has five kits for these cars

BC Racing makes three series for the Mitsubishi Outlander and Mirage: BR, DS and RM. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US. The 2022-on Outlander and the modern Mirage come in BR only.

BR, DS and RM on an Outlander

These are the BC series you can get for these two cars.

BC Racing BR coilovers use one 30-click knob for compression and rebound together.

DS takes BR's knob and adds a digressive piston for firmer control. It comes on the 2003 to 2020 Outlander kits.

RM is an upside-down, single-tube shock for strut cars. Like DS, it comes on the 2003 to 2020 Outlander kits.

KW and Ksport on the early cars

Outlanders before 2014 have the most choice. Call 1-800-460-9106 and we will compare them with you.

KW has two Outlander kits, chassis codes COUW and CW0, both 4WD.

Ksport

Ksport has two Outlander kits, three older Mirage kits and a Dodge Colt kit.

After 2013

Only BC makes kits for both cars in these years.

Before you buy: what Outlander and Mirage owners run into

Outlanders and Mirages are practical cars, and lowering them is a niche pursuit. Few of their owners write about suspension. What does affect your install, on older Outlanders in salt states, is a pair of recalls on the front cross member. Check that before the new kit goes on.

Recalls: front cross member corrosion

Outlander, 2003 to 2013

Two NHTSA recalls cover road salt corrosion of the front cross member at the lower arm mounts. 16V458 (2016) covers 2003 to 2006 Outlanders and the 2007 to 2013 V6. 20V279 (2020) covers 2008 to 2013 Outlanders. Both are limited to salt-belt states and D.C. Coilovers cannot fix a corroded cross member.

Before you install: Run the VIN for open recalls and inspect the cross member at the lower arm mounts before the install.

Outlander history

The Outlander, one year after its debut

Mitsubishi's September 1, 2003 release on the 2004 Outlander came "just one year after its successful debut", and spelled out the layout: "MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link, coil spring arrangement at the rear".

2003

Debut yearThe Outlander debuted one year before the 2004 release.

Outlander Sport, 2021 Outlander and Mirage questions

Which BC series can I choose for an Outlander?

Does KW make an Outlander kit for front drive?

Both of KW's Outlander kits are named 4WD, so none is listed for front drive.
