look for shocks made for the eclipse, 2000+ to be exact. as for the camber kit, look at places like ptuing optauto and stuff like that, they will have them. and as for struts, look to RRE, they're one of the only places that install the koni inserts to oem strusts (only option so far) other than that u can join the waiting list for the kyb struts and just hope they come out one day

How much would shocks, struts, and springs be for all 4?

yes tehy will

we're talking aftermarket
srpings go for 100 (for some ebay springs) to 400 for so GC coils
rear shocks about 150-300
Front Struts, the only option is the Koni inserts and they run from 290-500

of course, RRE does offer the full suspension setup from JIC, much better than any coil and shock available now but for 1400-1700

What are inserts and how do they work?

Well.... you all can just do what i did, buy new stock shocks to the car and bounce around a while, the back shocks are suppose to be made but its just the front that makes all you galant owners assed out like me, i bought coil overs from ground control and they do a good job dropping the car, the only problem now is that my front shocks are all gone so i'm hopping around looking like a bull rider. give me a post when or if you find some aftermarket shocks.

I was bouncing around like you for months on Progress springs until I couldn't take it anymore and bought the front Koni inserts. A little pricey, but what do you want for custom work.
