looking to lower my car.... with limited funds.

[RAZ_76]

Limited funds and decent suspension dont mix. If you dont have the money, dont do anything to it. Wait and do it right. You are lookin at atleast 400 to 500 bucks for a decent drop.

yeah but what can u get for $300 ?? Springs and the leftover money won't be enough for shocks and he isn't finding coilovers for that much

WHERE R U LOCATED>? 175 INCLUDING SHIPPING?

[99 galant]

what we are saying is the price "we" pay is what we are giving you. so use those to get your "dealer" price. all we are doing is showing you what we would have to pay for the quality. we dont know the price YOU can get them for. all you asked was that can you get a good setup for around 300. you never said that YOU get dealer price. and even then we dont know that price. take the info for what its worth and make your own decision. if your looking for the cheapest way we dont know the price of your connections. pick and choose from the info you got.

[guynlidia2006]

I am not trying to ruffle your feathers... lol just kidding, I just want to learn for others experiences so i do it right the first time for the lowest possible price, what do you guys think of this set up.

im located in Baerum, Norway but i can make a quick phone call to my parents house to have 'em shipped out. I lived in levittown, pennsylvania. my 8g is even for sale as well. and no thats not shipping included. the coilovers are literally still in the plastic in the box and have never been touched. u can adjust them from 1 - 4 inches in front an back.

Get yourself some KYB GR2s for about $250 on eBay. And then buy some lowering springs for $100+ (depending on the brand). Thats about $350.

i got tein s-tech springs for 145 on ebay

Kyb Gr-2s' are basically stock Galant struts with "Kyb Gr-2" written on the side pf them. i would know, i had a set of them. there about as garbage as u can get. there not much of an upgrade at all over whats on the Galant stock as is. its just a way of saying "hey look new struts with a nametag". there not made for lowering a car. the Kyb AGXs' are but not the Gr-2s'. best thing is to order a set of AGXs' for an 00-05 Eclipse. theres always deals on AGXs' on ebay or even a few websites as well.

[RAZ_76]

For you this is what I would suggest, for you meaning that you have kids like I do, this is the set up I had first and it was perfect. No camber issues, not lowered too much, even gap on all four fenders, looked good and the ride was good, not bouncy. The set up was KYB AGX struts front shocks rear that you can buy for a bout 375 shipped brand new on eBay, then I followed with Tein S- Tech spring that lowered the front 1.7" front & 1.3" Rear. This set up would cost you about 600 bucks to your door and I think it's one of the best, at least it was for me and this is what my ride looked with it and with 19 inch wheels.

Here is where to get the springs.

^ someone was selling a vogtland spring not too long ago. If I were you, I'd buy it since it's in your budget.

[TexasMade]

lowering the ride with limited funds = put some fat bitches in the back and ride. just tell them to sit low so know ones sees you with the fatties.

[Da_silvagride]

Not to offend anyone here, but just pick a set of springs its not rocket science. Find a set that is in your price range and buy them.

Here are a list the brand of suspension components you can buy for 8g:

Springs ($)

B&G
Tein
Eibach
Progress
Sprint
H&R
Megan racing


Coilovers ($$)
Ground Control
Skunk2

Full dampers ($$$)
Tein basic or Super Street set-up
Megan 32 way full adjustable
JIC

Just google these items: by manufacture and brand see who sell em and then you can find the best price.

Talk to "Wesellcarparts" on the vendor forum he will help you out.

The look you are trying to achieve will be with Eibach Prokit and Tein. * buy the AGX shocks and your good to go.


If you wonder if any of the products you find will fit just search the forums there many discussions on suspension and fitments.

Hope this helps clarify the whole decision process.
