I have a 2008 Sebring sedan with the 2.4L world engine, and it is a few miles shy of 200k. It has been a champ for the past decade, but there is wear and tear. So I would like to replace the worn parts with better components. Better in a sense of improving handling... improving in a sense of reducing body roll and increasing traction whilst cornering. Making it quicker, not necessarily faster. More responsive, more than anything.

To my knowledge, there isn't a whole lot out there specifically offered for this version of the car... I understand the Avenger/Lancer/200 are all the same chassis/engine, but finding stuff for the Sebring is rare.

What does it take to convert the rear drum brakes to discs? Even using factory parts? What is the difference between BRF and BFG in these parts?

Disc Brake Caliper Adapter
BRF
5191291AA
BFG
68020254AA

Everything in the rear susupension seems to be the exact same up to the brake drum spacer, and the lack of the caliper adapter. I still need to check proportioning valves and master cylinders, too.

I have found the Magnaflow (#16813) stainless steel cat-back. Which is cool and all. But a cat-back can only be expected to do so much without new plumbing forward of the catalytic converter... I would like to ditch the cat, entirely, and burn corn... but I might be getting ahead of myself. I do have the flex-fuel fuel pump and fuel line part numbers, for when the time comes, though.

Has anyone installed any of the 2009-2014 Lancer headers from RRM or even OBX?

Found a 180° and 160° Mishimoto thermostat for it, too...
MMTS-WRA-03L (180°)
MMTS-NEO-97L (160°)
I'm thinking about running the SRT4(Neon) 160° thermostat, with the factory radiator to keep it pretty much always open to give it the most time possible through the crappy radiator. If I ever try the Mishimoto 2009 Lancer radiator, I will probably use the 180° thermostat since the radiator can be trusted to actually cool it. Any chance people can tell me if the MMRAD-EVO-10 radiator bolts into the Sebring?

Sonnax and Trans-Go both make transnission rebuild/shift kits for the 40TES, although that is hardly specific to the Sebring. Probably going to get both and combine them into one master kit.

Has anyone installed the Traction Concepts LSD conversion for the A604 in a 40TES?

K&N offers cold air intake kits for the 2009 Avenger as well as the 2013 Avenger/200... but nothing specifically for the Sebring. And when I emailed them to ask if either would fit the 2008 Sebring, they said they don't make a kit specifically for that car and cannot comment (probably due to insurance reasons) about using kits not designed for your vehicle.

Does anyone know if either of these cold air intakes fit the 2008 Sebring?
69-2542TS (2009 Avenger)
69-2549TS (2013 Avenger/200)

H&R makes lowering springs, but does anyone know where I can find stiffer sway bars? Has anyone installed the Avenger R/T 21mm rear bar and/or Whiteline adjustable links?

What about the Avenger R/T strut tower brace? And/or the Whiteline 2009 Lancer rear strut tower brace? Does the convertible "X-brace" fit the sedan?

Anyone using either the Whiteline or SuperPro control arm bushings?

Any help will be greatly appreciated...
