RE: Replace Front/Rear Pads
Yes, I did some digging and found my assumptions true. Heres a link with a basic review of the 08 Lancer and it clearlly states on the paragraph labeled "confident braking performance" that they are the same brakes: http://www.netcarshow.com/mitsubishi/2008-lancer_es/

RE: Replace Front/Rear Pads
Greetings fellow owners!
No power slides, no burnouts and I probably grabbed the E-brake 3 times total lifetime. Why use it when you have the "park" position? Rarely does the pedal see the mat but it does see 3/4 plus and when you hit about 4600rpm the growl is awesome. The blatt from the exhaust is more like a bleat but hey we can't have it all, the mom's would complain about the noise. Except those who bought the Fosgate option which I chose not to. The Outlander indeed does make 218+ 30-0 stops per day, some are at a higher speed say..... 50-0. I have an all asphalt run 6 days a week with some sand and pot holes so a bit of drift and some suspension bottoms but nothing major. I do use the paddle shift option and have found it is much easier to control braking and steering on those snow covered and ice covered days. We have ice, snow is an option but this year we have had snow over ice on 3 different occasions. This is when the 4-lock option really is noticed. I have also learned that with the ASC off you have a handful, when the ASC is on you can throttle right through drifting or what many call an out of control slide into the snowbank or dreaded "other" vehicle. I did a bit of reseach and indeed the Lancer for 2008 does have the same brake assembly BUT GO FIND IT IN AFTERMARKET STORES! You won't, they do not even have 2007 listings yet!
Clipped from the site linked by someone here.....
"The all-new 2008 Lancer GTS not only tames curves, but does so with the confident stopping power of the same brakes as the larger, heavier Outlander SUV -- 11.6-in. (294 mm) vented discs in front and 11.9-in. (302 mm) solid discs in rear."
Just take the part numbers from my picture, they will fit your Outlander. I will say this about OEM brake pads, they are NOT WORTH THE EXTRA COST. Why? Because the Outlander had the fronts replaced at the 6100 mile mark and these Wagners hardly showed any wear when taken apart at the 13,300 mile mark with about 6900 miles of the EXACT same stop/go routine. I do all my own wrenching, the rotors are still near new looking from the parts store where I had them turned, just a hint of grooves from the difference in hardness of the pad. I cannot say enough about the Outlander, it has held together and performed flawlessly and I do use my rig, 6 days a week, hard on the throttle and harder on the brakes. Think about it, that 6 speed transmission has shifted about as many times in the 13,300 miles I have driven mine so far as most will do over a 140,000 period. Nearly bullet proof. Hope I didn't just jinx myself by praising the Mitsubishi
god.
I want a RH drive with the DIESEL option, anyone know how I can get one here in North America?
Safe driving and have fun in the Outlander! Oh, they ford 3 foot of water without a cough or water coming in through the doors! I could see the bottom of an over flowing river down here and figured WTH, it's insured, so I ran it, 0-30 in 3 feet of water, made for a nice undercarriage power wash.

RE: Replace Front/Rear Pads
Holy crap batman - i have only this week replaced my front pads on my 03 Outtie for the second time. The first set lasted 122000Km, and the most recent set 128000Km. I would scream if I got the wear that you have. By the way, the second set were also Mitsi original parts, and the wear factor is great. I have just ticked over 251000Km this week, which I guess is a lot for a car not yet 5 years old, but I love to drive!

RE: Replace Front/Rear Pads
Greetings fellow Outlander Owners. The rig now has 34,100 miles on it, still going strong. Not a visit to the dealer, on schedule oil changes. I have replaced 2 sets of Falkens and switched to Yokohama's this round. I will not have to replace them before it goes on the for sale block. I am about to put the 3rd. set of pads on all 4 corners. I guesstimate there is about 226,000 30-0mph stops total. Rotors will allow for one more surfacing but I am sure its close to minimum thickness tolerances. Can't say enough good about the performance and reliability.
