It'll physically fit but not sure if the Evo IV links onto the strut or the lower control arm.
Rear ones from Evo Lancers do not fit though

yeah cause im in need of a new sway bar, this guy has said to me
if your interested i also have an EVO4 front swaybar, which im 98% sure bolts up to the fto subframe and suspension with no modification
and im selling that with bushes brakcets and droplinks

from the picture it seems brand new and only $20 more then his fto sway bar which is used bar seems thicker, so i assume it is better, prob just ask him to sell to me and if it dont fit il swap

I am pretty sure the Evo IV swaybar hooks up onto the strut like the FTO but you'd need to confirm.
What rear swaybar will you use?
To be honest I think you would only need to consider toying with the front swaybar if you're trying to set the car up for track. Alternatively a stock swaybar + upgraded rear and a set of coilovers or spring/strut setup should be as good as you'll need for street while maintaining a degree of comfort and more importantly be able to keep control over bumps

oh my rear sway bar is gonna stay untouched, my front sway bar has snapped unlicensed for another couple weeks, so just gettin my sh*t sorted i just thought since he thinks the evo sway bar may fit, i might aswell go for it (thicker, sounds cooler ;) and only 20 bucks more and also brand new)

To be honest I am pretty sure Evo swaybars link to the lower control arm not the strut.
So maybe you'd need Version R lower control arms for the Evo swaybar to work.
I've seen Evo swaybar in a lancer + FTO rear and it understeered really bad

I'm just gonna ask why? Swaybars are cheap to have made.

Or is this a Gen Y - point 'n click - found a website - want it delivered now - type issue?

So by that logic, a dirty great, 12 second, 4 octave fart that make the dog leave the room is... a win?
