Is it supposed to be in the tech forum?
Heres some more stuff:
SPORTS-ABS
Sports Antilock Braking System (S-ABS) is standard on 2006 Lancer Evolution. The ECU uses information from a steering wheel sensor that detects steering inputs as well as lateral G and vehicle speed sensors to apportion pressure to each of the four wheels independently. The result is improved steering response while braking.
Sports-ABS has undergone detail tuning for dry tarmac and other high-friction surfaces and now slows the vehicle faster even on an undulating surface. Mitsubishi’s Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system, an integral part of Sports-ABS, optimizes allocation of braking force between the front and rear wheels. Increasing the pressure applied to the rear wheels when braking close to the limit, EBD reduces the load acting on the front wheels for better anti-fade performance. The system also compensates for changes in surface and vehicle load conditions to ensure predictable and consistent stopping performance at all times.
MR: IMPROVED HANDLING STABILITY, RIDE COMFORT
The Lancer Evolution MR inherits the highly acclaimed suspension of the Lancer Evolution while adding several improvements of its own. For a suspension system to achieve the highest levels of all-wheel control, it must keep the tires on the pavement. To improve the MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, Mitsubishi turned to Bilstein®, renowned for their high-performance, superior-response shock absorbers. Working together, engineers created a shock absorber designed exclusively for the MR.
Bilstein® shock absorbers feature quick responses, as they are capable of switching instantly from the compression to extension process. By lowering the damping force generated by the shock absorbers, grip on the road has improved along with ride comfort. Quicker response time increases: high speed handling stability; traction on uneven road surfaces, while accelerating and through corners; and body attitude under braking.
Less load transfer means improved grip.
VORTEX GENERATORS
To help streamline the MR, eight small (25 mm height) fins – called vortex generators – were added to the rearward edge of the roof to increase the flow of air down the rear window. This places additional downforce on the window and reduces the resistance of air passing over the roof.
Each of these delta-shaped fins is set to create yaw of approximately 15 degrees on the air current that passes over it. The flow generates a yaw of 15 degrees at the center of the car, and 0 degrees at the outer edges.
The amount of air separation at the rear window (shown in the diagram below) decreases when the vortex generator is present. When the area of separation decreases, the main air current over the roof flows more widely over the window, increasing down force and causing a streamline effect by decreasing the air resistance of the car. Lift and air resistance are lowered in equal proportion.
