    Hi Slomo. Try this website:

    http://www.ultraracing.com.my/Catalo...S40,V40&page=1

    They list front, rear and chassis braces. Or search on ebay for a Mitsubishi Evo 3 rear brace.

    Evo 3 all the way Slo....only thing is you may need to shave the rear braces as they are a tight ass fit over the rear mounts....takes a few mins with a file though and you are set, oooh and you need to cut your carpet, I just cut a slot in mine, fits really neatly

    Watch out for your rear seat belt spring return things when stripping down the carpet too! catch one of those and it can spring off and then you have no rear seatbelt lol

    cool. Nicely priced as well

    Is there anything can put on the underneath of the car to improve the handling?

    Some company in Singapore or similar do an H-Brace....but with the roads the way they are over here, not a great idea mate, you will rip it off on a speed bump.
    If you want increased handling feel and stiffness then talk to Ash (Spangoolies) about his Poly bush setup, apparently his car is now harder than the lovechild of a terminator and a predator.
    Go figure lol

    i seem to remember that uprated anti roll bars got good feedback.. think ultra racing linked to above and whiteline both do one for our cars.

    Mate I've got an underbelly brace for Phase 1 S40s - was about to stick it on eBay as it doesn't fit my Phase 2 (they were redesigned with a better cross-member) - shout if you're still looking.

    Whiteline do the rear ARB kit for the T4 which is approx £250.00. I think the stock ARB is 18mm thick and the whiteline is 20mm. Not sure if these fit phase 1 though as the only product years listed is 8/00-04
