I sold my wife's 99 to my friend and bought a 2010 for her. I'm assuming the lowering springs for the other year 9g's will fit but just wanna make sure. I'm also wondering where to get the eye lids for the headlights. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I see most recommend the Works springs but I don't see them listed on their website. Also how are the Megans?
It's funny how now that I sold the 99 how bad I want it back now that I hear my friend go on about what his plans for it are. I just had too many projects and the wife's car needed to be drivable most often. My 3000gt vr4, eclipse and my motorcycle take up my time. I still want her car to look good though. It's pearl white like my vr4. I figure lower it, rims, window visors, mud guards, foglights, and a lip spoiler for the trunk lid is all I'm doing to it. The 99 would've gotten out of hand if she let me.
Works stopped producing their lowering springs. Megans are ok except that their orange coating peels off exposing springsto rust
So I take it Megan doesn't powder coat their springs? Probably just paint. Does using them require any camber adjustment?
Looks like they're out of business. Website is down.Quote:

Try eibach for 2006+ eclipse
Mine were pretty good. It had a decent drop. 1.750 inch as claimed. It was specifically for tje galant and not the eclipse. Ride quality is good and no need for camber adjustment
If I can use eclipse springs I'd rather do that since eibach and tein are better companies.
I found the eyelids too. Is this a reputable place?

Tein might be a better choice. One guy at club9g had eibachs made for eclipse and he had problems with springs binding . Post pic if u decide to go with tein stechs
the eclipse springs will work, however the spring tension is a lil off and will set the front aprox 1/4" higher then the rear... not really that noticable unless you really stare long enough or measure
Do they make a stiffer ride, or are they fairly close to stock? I use Teins in my 3000gt and its a little stiffer but I think part of the problem there is I didn't cut down the bump stops.Quote:

i have the tein s techs on my eclipse, they gave me a 2" drop on all corners... they are also the springs i will put on my wife's 9g if i can talk her into letting me do it.. i'm not familiar with the quality of works springs, but i am familiar with some of their other products, works is a good company... but... i think tein and eibach know suspension the best
The 9g rear strut are slightly taller than 4g eclipse. Might be2 inch drop around for the 4g but it might be 2inch in the front and 3 inch in the rear for the 9g. Just a guess. But do post pictures when u do install the springs.
i did eibach prokit and tuck all four conners. so id stay away from s techs cause the drop is lower
i did eibach prokit for eclipse on my 9G and got the rear lower than the front...looking for a solution right now. Got 1.5" drop on the back and 1"0 on the front
Want that perfect look. Gotta go coil over. Spring drop is limited to the manufacture. Anything lower will just wear out the struts faster.
I've found the best solution to the drop problem is the Megan springs made for the Galant and not the Eclipse. It is an even drop all around. Everybody that I've heard who got springs for the 4G Eclipse dropped too much in the back. If you can afford coil overs then go for it but personally I can't so I'm going with Megan Springs made for the Galant.
