Behind the scenes, Mitsubishi engineers added a performance-tuned suspension to match the more capable engines offered for 2006. In front are MacPherson struts with a stabilizer bar; out back is a multi-link setup, also with a stabilizer bar.

Tied to the new suspension is an updated braking system. Every model features ventilated discs up front and ABS on all four corners. However, rear brakes vary – the GS offers solid discs, whereas the GT provides discs that are larger and ventilated.
