8g Galants riding on 3g Eclipse Springs?

[Andoy]

Read on an early post that some have 3g eclipse springs (Eibach, etc.) on the 8g Galant, with great results ... supposedly they fit, but how's the ride/performance/looks --anyone?

Well the galant and the ecplise is built on the same. So it should fit fine.
i-4 galant=i-4 eclispe
v6 galant=v6 eclispe

1999 Galant ES
Springs - Tien S-Tech Sports Springs (3G Eclipse GS Application)
Â* Â* Â* Â* Â*Supposed to be Â*
Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* 1.8 front (actual was about 2")
Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* Â* 1.2 Rear (actual was about 1.3")

Struts - KYB GR2 (3G Eclipse GS Application) Â*
Shocks - KYB GR2 Â*
Rims - 2003 GTZ 16" rims
Tires - Generic




Ride was actually pretty good.
But had to replace the Eclipse struts after about a year and a half. Â*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. Â*
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.</div>
