Still haven't started turbo project yet, but I will soon.

Just threw my suspension on the today. Eclipse Eibach pro kit with kyb gr-2 struts. Not sure what to do next. Jdm skirts/lip? or does it need to be lower? I kinda didn't pay for the pro kit so I think I'd be safe going to a 1.5-2 inch drop, I believe these were 1 inch right now. will post better pics tomorrow morning.

Do you want to increase the performance of the car...or do you want to enhance the look of the car, its your choice on what route you take next.

The drop is nice..great for daily driving.

Well I want to do a type r front lip w/jdm sides, and I don't want it to look stupid because the car is too high. I want the handling performance it has now, as the car will be boosted soon.

Holy camber man!! I like the drop yours looks hella nice. I will probably get some lower springs. i have 17's with 225/50's all around. I don't wanna spend the money on coilovers because I won't have this car forever. Too much $$.

I like the way that looks, the perfect amount of drop.

Ok heres the deal. You drop is not set in yet. Your gunna get lower as the springs settle. Coilovers are great because you can get the exact drop you want. Here is my car on d2s about a 2-2.5 in drop in the front and 1-2 in the rear. Btw if you do a type r lip our cars are gunna be twins.lol Not this g but my new one.

Nothing wrong with a drop, I don't like slammed cars. I just prefer function over form, that's all.

An I live in the country u can say has nice back roads and I can take a corner going 70 with out worrying and there's 2 members who own 8g live few mins from me who ride same roads and there like u(meaning height of Ur car) and I work n downtown Atlanta which has more potholes then anywhere n the nation lol....

Thanks for the feed back guys I appreciate it. I'm liking the drop more and more every day. And I do get in the occasional race with a random Honda every now and then so I want some decent handling performance. 98m, sorry for copying you but your car looks amazing :)

Here we go again :nono:

But OP I think you are on the right track, by taking the edge off the 4x4 stock look. But wait for your current springs to settle before you make any further decisions

Well u dnt have to be 4x4 to street race. I'm talking about the track.. And seeing ur FWD lower is better for racing etc. Ur to high.... And matt why u throwing the other away? Keep it for a back up and fix it slowly... Here's a pic of my car before paint....

We'll see man, we'll see... I forked out over 600 bucks for my Dunlop Sports... not really interested in seeing them go to shit every six months!

Car just got hit today. thankfully i got insurance from them. just pissed because imho, this was one of the cleanest galants as far as original body/paint is concerned (minus the spoiler which will get painted now when i take it in)

And 600 for tires man there ripping people assigned this day I got GT radials for 350 mount and balance... Lol plus 100 for the insurance plan... Well easy fix man... And I hate that spoiler so much lol I want a 8g one but idk only if I get vr4 sides and front... I think I'm the lowest 7g or even G on Tgc lol.... I love low life ;)..
