you'll probably want to get some new upper strut mount bushings. for the rear.
you can buy oem, o.e. replacement. or get some poly upper mount bushings from prothane or energy suspension.

either way, your stock bushings in the rear are shot. I promise.

^^how much does the rear upper mount bushing cost for the 7g?because im also getting lowering springs installed and from your advice i think im going to change them also.i have been searching on google but nothing helpful comes up.also would i need a camber kit in the front of the car or just the rear?

you used to be able to find them on ebay when you typed eclipse bushing, or eclipse mount. maybe eclipse energy?
I know you can order them from road race engineering.
they comme in a set of 4. so if you were an 8g guy you could order a set and spllit them with one of your other 8g buddies.

as far as 7g guys, just order a set of prothane upper strut bushings and you will be set.

Road race engineering, and possibly some other vendors will carry them.

scroll down the the energy suspension section.
You will see where you can buy these bushings for 14$ per pair.
so you 8g guys can get away cheap.

I agree with DOHC about the bushings there usually a dollar or two a piece oem and I also recommend strut mounts for the rear there prob like 10 bux at the dealer a piece

replace the front strut mounts and the rear strut bushings. Then when your done check the alignment and see if you need front and rear camber kits. I only needed the rear. But you dont really know what you need till you doi an alignment check

alright so i went to the shop today..gonna get my car lowered tomorrow haha cant wait..but the mechanic was tellin me that in his book its says that the back of the car needs no camber in it..he wanted me to buy the front but i was like lower my car first do my alignment and then see if im gonna need camber in the front..also is it dangerous to not have a camber kit say for like 2 to 3 weeks??
