Wanted to ask everyone on there opinion on what to do next to my car..i wanna tint the tails an the third brake light..someone said to use VHT night shade, but i didnt wanna ruin the tail lights if i decide to trade it in later on..an someone else said window tint from wal-mart?

i wanna lower it so bad, im gonna go with KYB adj shocks an not sure yet but just megan drop springs just because they give you a 2' drop, every other company does 1.75' drop

An in your opinion would it be stupid looking if i put a roof visor on the back with me keeping my stock spoiler on?

I had the roof spoiler with my spoiler and didn't look stupid. I also have done many tail lights with VHT and what people don't know is that you can always go back to stock. Paint thinner to remove it and clear to bring back the shine. As far as the suspension, it's all about preference. I've had most of them out there and Megan were bouncy, Tein S-Tech gave me the best ride but not the most drop. Anyway, here is a pic of teh roof spoiler with trunk spoiler. I personally think it looks good.

NO!!!!! do not get adjustable springs, go with strait coilovers if you want a low drop. those will eat up your shocks/struts like there's no tomorrow

That's junk. Go with coil and shock or coilovers. Nothing in between.

1)Those coilover sleeves are junk dude.
2)Those struts will not fit 8G galants.

You need KYB AGX for 2000 to 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse(3G). The coilovers we are talking about are like these

i've heard that andysautosport is very shady, ie not sending out products or purposely sending the wrong product and then charging a restocking fee

An OG member (Maverick) from IL once had the Arospeed coilover sleeves set-up matched with a shock meant for lowered cars and didn't seem to have any issues with it. The drop looked good too.

IMO. NEVER and i mean NEVER buy cheap made shit for suspension and brakes. If you buy cheap shit for your motor and it blows up then thats totally different than not being able to stop or steer.... But thats just me.

Coilovers will get the job done. Best upgrade ever.

D2 Racing Coilovers. I have them set to the highest ride height possible. And I still have managed to scrape. I f I wanted to, I could drop 2inches easily. But with the road conditions here, it just isnt practical. Upstate NY has some of the most horrible roads in all the US. That last pic was from last summer. This past winter was pretty brutal on my front bumper. And thats all Im going to say.
