Damn! You got me all excited. I thought these coilovers were going to be a real hi-low set with adjustable struts and shocks. Norcal was supposedly working on something like that and I thought that's what you were talking about.

Im orderind them soon heres the reply i got from cliff when i emailed him with some questions

Thanks for the interest. The coilovers do fit on a 99 Galant and they will work great with the KYB AGX shocks. I recommend the shocks to go with the coilovers for a much better ride.

To ord you can give me a call at 408-226-2023. The price is $180 plus $20 for shipping so total will be $200.

BabyBenz what did you look under??
I've checked everywhere and cant find them!! Also, can you use these coilovers with the stock struts for a couple months cause i dont have the money for the KYB's right now.

They are right at the bottom of the page on the website that was posted in the first post. They are Racer Design coilovers for the 200+ Eclipse, but if you look at the pull down menu, you'll see the Galant and Stratus listed as well.

You can use them with the stock struts, but unless you are doing the install yourself, I would wait until you have the money for the KYB's as well or you will have to pay twice for installation and twice for an alignment.

Here is a pic of them:

The main difference is that Eibach makes the springs used in the ground control coilovers whereas with the Racer Design ones, who knows what brand the springs are. Eibach is quality stuff.
