After lowering the car my ride is almost identical whether i am on 18 or 16, the only different is when hitting a bump you do feel it a little more but thats due to less rubber.

Ride was actually pretty good.
But had to replace the Eclipse struts after about a year and a half. I would recommend just putting the extra money in for the galant parts if you have them.
Didn't Rub
Didn't have to roll Fenders
Topped out veeeeeery rarely.

Ride quality decreased with the new rims.
It's noticibly on turns stiffer with Strut bar. (not sure i like it)
Camber was not needed intially, became very noticible later.
Low Profiles tires did not rub.
Had to roll fenders.
Top out veeeery rarely.
Overall
Very agressive drop...i love how it looks.

You got the sportlines on, how low is the drop?
just finished mine:
2003 ES
17 Konig Imagines Opal finish
225/45 Ziex 512 Falkens
1.8" drop on Sprint springs
AGX's front and back. 4 position adjustables
2003 Galant ES i4
Springs - Tein S-Tech
Shocks and struts - KYB GR-2
Camber kit - not needed
Rims - Factory 16" alloy wheels
Tires - Goodyear Assurance Comfortred 205/55/16 all season radials
Definitely firmer and harsher ride with this setup, but body roll is significantly reduced. Handling is greatly improved. The car also looks much better without the huge wheel well gap. It dropped more than the Tein specification. I'd say about 2" in front and 1.7" behind.
1995 2.4 ES 4G64
Sprint Performance Sport Spings
KYB AGX Struts all the way around(all 4 struts were blown anyways)
KYB Strut Mounts
Progressive Camber Kit
Stock Wheels and rims for now till after the wedding
no STB yet either/however there is one by Stillen that i think will fit.
the Sprint springs took me by suprise. Definately worth looking into. especially if you are running on limited cash flow. the drop was a modest one (1.5-1.8)and the ride quality is really good. corners wonderfully. I am sure it will do much better with polyurithane bushings and a rear sway.

AGX is set to 3 all around, started on 4 but then I had to listen to my wife https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif
Whoever said it's love all over again... Now I know what he was talking about. Car takes corners like a champ, no more swingibingi while accelerating or hard braking, changing lanes is a 100% pleasure. And it looks awesome (ca 2" front 1.8" back), I love it!!!
update: Addco swaybar FTW! Honestly, I didn't expect a lot since the stock was 19 already, but I have to say, even that 3mm does make a difference

-With the initial and most recent setup listed above I have been satisfied. Handling is far much superior compared to stock and even when I had a Eibach Prokit with KYB GR2 setup on my old 95 Galant. Response is also improved. Ride quality is decent but tolerable but a little bit better if I was running on my 15 inch wheels and tires. After months of getting the right setup for the dampening on the KYB AGX's ride quality and handling is balanced IMO.

Suspension Techniques rear swaybar
Energy suspensions full bushing set, including engine mounts
Autocross tires
Crager Soft Black 16X8's with 12mm offset
Avon Tech Ra's 225/50/16's Next season I will hopefully be out with a set of Hoosier A6's in a 255 or a 245
Summer set
Currently mounted on the stockers, will be on 16X7 cragers next year
Hankook RS-2's in a 225/50/16
Winter set
Currently unmounted but will go on the stockers soon
Pirelli PZero Nero M+S's in a 205/55/16
The avons ride like a buckboard but R-comps will do that, they handle great, another common attribute to these tires. The Hankooks are awesome, although they wont last too long, but riding them only in the summer helps. The sidewalls are a bit softer than what I would like them to be, but that keeps the kidneys happy on the road. After being on the Avons and the Hankooks the Pirelli's feel just too soft and unresponsive but that will be similar to any other all season I go with.
The Suspension Technique rear bar is amazing, the car rotates so well and just feels totally neutral. I can kick the breaks, on course, through a turn and get it to sharpen up the corner, its soo much better than how much push I used to get.
I really need some non-drop or minimal drop springs with a really hard rate, I'm talking approx. 400-500 Lbs/in, if someone knows where I could find something like that it would be greatly apprechiated.
get in touch w/ road race engineering (RRE). their suspension guru, john mueller, can help you out... one way to get the springs and drop you want is full coilovers w/ custom spring rate either w/ JIC FLT-A2 or TEIN SS-P . you could even call ground control and get them to make you a set of custom rate adjustable perch springs.Quote:

you might also want to look into chasis bracing from D3 (CSK). i also have this.
and a RRE strut tower brace (i have this too but it is no longer in production and was limited edition to begin w/). if you can't get one i suggest the OEM strut brace for the 3G, the other ones on the market (besides the DCsports [I4 only right now] and CARBING [expensive]) are basically for decoration since they pivot at the mounts.
... and since ur autoXing, u probably need to upgrade your brakes as well, but that's a whole 'nother conversation.
If your spending that much, go with the Jics. I wouldnt buy the SSPs, you cant adjust the rebound seperately from the compression. So you either have high rebound and low compression or the other way around. With the Jics, you can adjust them seperately which is nice. Or if you have DEEP pockets, look into Hot Bits coilovers, they are amazing and of pure race quality.
the compression and rebound on the TEIN SS-P go stiffer and softer together in sync just like the JIC FLT-A2. the difference is the adjusters on the TEIN's are all on top (16 levels) whereas the JIC have them on the bottom for the front and on the top for the rear (15 levels); neither set are independently adjustable for compression/rebound. the main advantage of the JIC's is they are body length adjustable (ala TEIN FLEX [not available for our platform]) so you can raise/lower ur car w/o changing preload and travel. i wasn't aware they make HOT BITS for our platform.Quote:

And maybe thats what I was thinking of is the preload on the Jics is not affected from rebound and compression adjustments.
I was sort of dabbling with the idea of the jic's but lack of funding is a bitch. I was looking to get something cheap in the way of springs to tide me off until I get the funds for a full jic set. I thought the D3 chassis stiffening kit came with a front stb, that attached to the firewall. As I've previously mentioned I already have a rear sway bar, and the thing actually got away from national trophiest Tim Herron, who has previously driven the car. He was telling me that without it, it should have pushed like a mother through that corner, and that was kind of what he was expecting it to do. I'm just happy that my drivings gotten into the 1 second range behind a national driver. With the 255's next year, if I can pull it off, combined with a 5spd should put me into STI/EVO territory, or at least locally.
the d3 stb is made for a 3g eclipse (if u didn't allready know, the 3g eclipse and 8g galant are built on the same platform and 90% of our suspension parts are swapable), it will not reach the firewall on our 8g's.Quote:
