    click me
    and here is another

    The suspension on the 7g is identical to the suspension on the 2g eclipse (94-99). So search for eclipse and you will get a lot of results.

    kyb agx are a great and affordable shock for the eibach pro kit.
    4 way adjustable in th4 front, 8 way in the back.
    they let you dial in the ride you want for any driving conditions, from touring, to auto-x, drag, or just spirited daily driving.

    Ummmm..... they should fit

    The Tein suspension in my Galant was originally in a Legnum VR-4

    The springs that were on my factory struts were also ment to go on the later model galant/legnum

    JDM 8g suspension is different then the USDM 8g suspension. At least the 8g VR4 suspension is exactly like the 2g suspension which is like the UDSM 7g suspension.

    It wil fit but its not the same. Spring rates are different in the springs and the rod length on the 2g struts is shorter. Im not sure how this would affect performance, but they arent exactly the same specs as the 7g stuff.

    i was able to get my set up for Galant. i have Eibach Ground Controls and KYB AGX's. I like the ride, except i think the rear is set too stiff for Highway driving, i bounce soo much it makes my passengers sick.

    Most of the Good Ebay stores will be able to get them for you. You just have to send them a message, and they will tell you how much and how long it will take. Sometimes they have to special order them, but they will take the time for anyone who will spend the money.
