So it was time for me to get new shocks for my car. I have never changed them before and they were messing up my back tiers. So i ordered 4 shocks and ended up buying the works springs. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I ended up taking my car to a car shop around the corner from my house. They guy did it for $150.

Looks good. The springs will settle over the next few weeks and your drop will be slightly lower.

The drop looks good. But what did it take to do those LEDs? Those are kind of killer.

Its a lil jumpy, but nothing crazy...

It was dropped 1 inch in the front and 1 1/2 inchs in the back.

I got the strip at Autozone. $20.00 bucks each. Bought 2 strips came out to $40.00. Just peel it and sick them on. I ran the power from the trunk. I have a rely in the back for my T.V's. When i turn the car one the t.v's turn on and when i turn it off they shut off. Same goes for the LED now.

Nice thanks for the info. Too bad Autozone isn't in PA though. They have all these commercials for all the great stuff there but the closest one is in like VA!

Hey have you thought about lowering front more than the back? Maybe it will give it a more aggresive posture? I don't have any idea what it might mean to your handling btw

I was to lazy to take off my the head lights and baking then. So I put them outside...

You should check out autozone.com


I wouldn't want to drop anymore then I did. The streets out here in Los are all jacked up.

Thats a damn nice looking drop man, appreciate the info on it as well.

I am looking at 20's for my 09 ralliart and looking to drop as well but not sure how much to go without rubbing..any suggestions on inch wise?

Eibach Sportlines and Works are the best to use for 20 inch wheels with no rubbing

Eibach you will need to use the 06 Eclipse application... dont worry it will fit same chassis

and Works use the Galant app. check out the site www.worksevo.com

good luck

but is the ride any smoother beside it being jumpy?

works is as smooth as you can ever get... still oem quality! not sure about eibach but it gets good reviews as well. If it starts bouncing its probably because the struts are blown
