I have a GTZ and wondered if could I put lowering springs in the front and keep the rear stock
have you guys looked into swift springs? the drop isn't big but they don't sag over time like tein and other springs.

^^ There is so many discussions on why not to do that. Mainly for safety reasons.
Just got kyb gr2 and tein s and theres no gap on the rear, i think ist too low on the back for my liking
I dont think am as low as the others on teins. Maybe cuz i used eclipse 3g springs???
^^ mine looks similar, on mine the gap is sightly bigger in front still, but way better than stock 4x4.
Looks good now let see the front, and eclipse springs should be the same as galants, since you have a V6 you should be lower than a I4 on the same springs.

It doesnt look bad bad it scraps more than before. Am so low shocks dont have to absorb lol. It jumps a lot. Guess ill go back to stock. Would getting bigger rims close the gap 2 much?? Would bigger rims make yhr car a bit taller so i dont scrap?
These pics are the same pic twice
Wait, you are lower than before on GR2/Tein's?? Your ride is jumpy now with the new set up?
Teins are suppose to give you a comfy ride but a littler sportier, so if its worse than before then there's something wrong, installation or shocks are bad.

Super bumpy ride, before i had blown stock shocka on stock trimmed spring and would rattle and jump now with new gr2 and teins am lower and way more jumpiness. On front rear was stock springs and now is soo low when someone get in car wheel gap on the rear is non wheel goes inside the wheel house thing.
Am not liking it at all. Jumps like crazy. My shocks are excel g. Te kyb website says they are the same except for color. So i dont think they are the problem
^^^maybe you just should have got springs designed for the g, just because they fit don't mean it's gonna work. 3G and 8G obviously don't weigh the same or handle the same. I'm on Tein S-tech's designed for my 4cy 8G with Gr-2's in back and Excel-G's in front. No bounce. It's just what you would expect from a lowered car.
KYb website says they are the same product just painted black in order to accommodate a closer OEM look.
According to Tein website, spring rates and drop are the same except that the eclipse drop is less on the front. So I would lift the car take the wheel off and check everything, maybe shocks are defective or maybe you are riding on the bumpstop and need to cut them a little, unless you aren't used to them, it should be a little stiffer than oem but I don't think it would be worse than cut springs.

Did you buy legit Teins? There's a sticky around here about that hit the market some time ago, not sure if they're still out there.
Thy looked legit. I dont know what to fo. How fo i know if i have defective shocks? What are the chances that all 4 of them are blown lol
Here is the counterfeit vs real page

I doubt all 4 are blown from the get go though.
