View Full Version : Suspension question

I recently acquired a set of Eibach pro-kit springs. And as I await their arival, I began to ponder... On RRE's site they don't sell KYB AGX springs for the 2G Eclipse because they say the strut length is too long for cars that are lowered at all. Now, the Galant shares most of it's suspension with the 2G Eclipse. So my question is: When I actually get together the money to buy the AGXs and put them on with the Eibachs, will I have a bad ride? Ride quality is important to me, which is why I was loathe to mess with the suspension at all. Also, I know that with Koni struts a couple of places will modify the strut for use with lowered vehicles to maintain full movement of the strut. Does KYB offer this same service? Over the summer one of my struts started to give out, so I'm going to have to do something about it before too long. and I figure I might as well upgrade the whole thing and be set for the rest of the life of the car.

KYB AGX + Eibach = :thumbsup:

I wouldn't worry Kain, that's great setup. If your looking for it to be as soft as the OEM setup then you'll be disappointed. If your ready for a sports suspension then you will not.
I had close to that setup for nearly a year, except I had the GR-2's, and it was great all around. Cornering was tight, and the ride not tooooo stiff. It will be a tad bit bouncy at first I will warn you but it should settle after like a month.
The Eibachs don't really drop the car far enough to worry about strut rod travel. When I drop my Skunks like 3 inches... then it becomes a problem.

After a month, the ride has gotten better tho'. Not as hard nor bouncy, but stiff when you need it (around corners!)
