Designed for EVO 5–9 RS Differential Applications

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 5 through 9 was produced with different rear differential configurations, including RS and AYC systems. Because these systems use different components and mounting arrangements, selecting the correct hardware is essential when carrying out an RS differential installation or conversion.

These OEM RS differential mounting bars are designed to work with the RS-style rear differential configuration, making them an important component for owners who are restoring an RS vehicle or converting an AYC-equipped Evolution to an RS setup.

Whether you’re rebuilding the entire rear drivetrain or simply replacing missing or damaged components, using the correct OEM mounting bars helps maintain the intended factory-style mounting arrangement.

Genuine Mitsubishi OEM Quality

When it comes to restoring a Mitsubishi Evolution, genuine OEM components offer an important advantage: they are manufactured to the original Mitsubishi design and specifications.

At EVomotorparts, we understand that many Evolution owners want to preserve the original engineering and authenticity of these increasingly collectible performance cars.

Using genuine OEM mounting components rather than fabricated or unknown aftermarket alternatives can help ensure that the differential is installed using the correct mounting locations and configuration.

These mounting bars are therefore ideal for enthusiasts who prioritize:

• OEM quality
• Correct factory-style fitment
• Original Mitsubishi engineering
• Restoration authenticity
• Long-term reliability
• Proper RS differential installation

Ideal for AYC-to-RS Conversions

One of the most common applications for RS differential mounting components is an AYC-to-RS conversion.

Many Evolution GSR models were equipped with an AYC rear differential, while the RS specification used a different rear differential arrangement. Converting between these configurations requires more than simply changing the differential itself.

The correct mounting components, bushes, bars and associated hardware need to be considered as part of the complete conversion.

These OEM mounting bars are an excellent component to include when assembling an RS conversion package for an Evolution 5–9.

They can be used alongside the appropriate:

• RS rear differential
• RS differential mounting bushes
• Rear differential mounting kit
• Rear subframe/crossmember
• Mounting hardware
• Driveshaft and axle components, where applicable

Suitable for Evolution 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9

These mounting bars are intended for RS differential applications across the following Evolution generations:

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V — Evo 5
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI — Evo 6
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII — Evo 7
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII — Evo 8
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX — Evo 9

Because these cars are now commonly modified, converted, and rebuilt, always confirm the exact rear differential configuration of your vehicle before ordering.

Perfect for Restoration Projects

As the Evolution 5–9 platform becomes increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts, maintaining the correct OEM components is becoming more important.

A vehicle that has spent years being modified or used in motorsport may be missing original mounting hardware or may have been converted from its original differential configuration.

These genuine OEM mounting bars are an excellent choice for restoring the rear drivetrain to the correct RS specification.

They are ideal for:

• Complete Evo restorations
• RS-spec restorations
• AYC-to-RS conversions
• GSR RS conversions
• Rear differential replacements
• Rear drivetrain rebuilds
• Performance builds
• Rally cars
• Track cars
• Motorsport projects
• OEM+ builds

Important Rear Drivetrain Component

The rear differential is subjected to significant forces as engine torque is transferred through the AWD system.

The differential mounting system is responsible for keeping the differential securely located relative to the chassis and surrounding drivetrain components.

The mounting bars are one part of this system and work together with the differential mounts, bushes, subframe and associated hardware.

For high-powered or competition vehicles, ensuring that all of these components are in good condition is particularly important.

If you’re already rebuilding the rear drivetrain, replacing worn, damaged, missing, or incorrect mounting components with genuine OEM parts can help provide a solid foundation for the rest of the build.

Excellent for Performance Builds

The Evolution platform is well known for its enormous tuning potential. Many Evo 5–9 vehicles now produce considerably more power and torque than they did in factory specification.

When upgrading a vehicle’s drivetrain, it is important to consider not only the differential itself but also the components responsible for locating and supporting it.

These genuine Mitsubishi RS mounting bars are an excellent choice for performance enthusiasts who want to combine OEM mounting components with upgraded differential bushes and other performance drivetrain parts.

They can be used as part of a complete rear differential upgrade for street, track, rally, or motorsport applications.

EVomotorparts — Evolution Parts & Components

At EVomotorparts, our goal is to provide quality Mitsubishi Evolution components for enthusiasts who take their builds seriously.

Whether you’re restoring an original RS, completing an AYC-to-RS conversion, rebuilding a rear drivetrain, or creating a high-performance Evo, choosing the correct components is essential.

We understand the importance of proper fitment and OEM specification when working on these vehicles, particularly as genuine Evolution parts become increasingly difficult to source.

Fitment & Compatibility

Compatible application: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 5–9 RS differential configurations.

Please verify your exact Evolution model, year, chassis specification, rear differential type, and existing mounting arrangement before purchasing.

RS and AYC configurations can differ, and many Evolution vehicles have been modified during their lifetime. If your car has previously undergone a differential conversion, it is especially important to confirm the existing configuration.

Where possible, compare the original component and verify the applicable Mitsubishi OEM part number before ordering.

Installation Recommendation

Professional installation is recommended, particularly when these mounting bars are being installed as part of a complete RS differential conversion.

During installation, inspect the differential, rear subframe, bushes, mounting points and associated hardware for corrosion, cracks, damage or excessive wear.

Correct positioning and secure fastening are essential for the safe and reliable operation of the rear drivetrain.

Product Summary

The Genuine OEM EVO 5–9 RS Differential Mounting Bars from EVomotorparts are an excellent choice for Evolution owners who require the correct OEM mounting components for an RS rear differential setup.

Whether you’re restoring an Evo 5, rebuilding an Evo 6, converting an Evo 7 or 8, or completing an Evo 9 performance build, these genuine Mitsubishi mounting bars provide the factory-style solution needed to properly support the RS differential configuration.
