suspension

[Corey2kG]

i got the stocks now i dont want it 2 low though thats my only problem if i didnt have a family i would drop my g 2 the floor i no i shouldnt but cutting my springs isnt such a bad idea and i no thats a no no here ive already cut one whole coil and it rides fine i dont no wat 2 do

[Corey2kG]

im just gonna use the lowering springs i got already the dropzone and get agx struts

[IVORY_G]

I would recommend the Tein S-Tech's & AGX combo. Thats what Im running now, you can check my build thread in the project section, I have about 2 finger gap in the rear, and 3 finger gap up front. Adjustability off the AGX struts is great bcz I can make the car really stiff or nice and smooth. Drop is perfect IMO bcz Im not too low but its looks good still. And I dont scrape my subframe at all or my bumper unless Im not paying attention. Very practical for a DD. Also the AGX's give the Teins an additional finger gap for some reason vs. the GR-2's as well.

If you want that much of a drop you would need to go with the Megan Racing springs, and the AGX's. Teins will give you 2-3 finger gap up front, dependent on if ur a V6 or I4.

is it true they dont make agx for any 8G?

All 3G Eclipse suspension (2000-2005), is transferable to the 8G suspension.

[Corey2kG]

so i look up as wat 2000 mitsu eclipse? do i have 2 alter it in any way? say if i wanted to use my stock springs with the agx, could i do it?

no need to alter, its the same component they are just made for the eclipse which is slightly lighter.

Yes, No, possible but not worth it.

[Corey2kG]

ok thanks. im looking for real low drop. i had 0 fingers on my srt-4 with the tein springs. granted my stuts were shot lol but that shit was fuckin low

Lol! Well im sure ur struts had sum to do with that. But if you want it to be 0 finger gaps, you'd have to go 4 Coilovers.

[epicrock8g]

doesnt have to be that low i just want lower in front than in the back and some good handling at high speeds

[IVORY_G]

Megans would be fine then, check around at some pix of the members car to see the drop...

[epicrock8g]

ok.... will do

check it out let me no wat u think

[IVORY_G]

Ya killn me here with "No" it's spelled "KNOW". LOL!
OK, from what Ive learned, the GR-2's are OEM replacements. They dont have adjustability like the AGX's and dont last long term on cars that are dropped. But there are a number of G's on here with this setup, so that's completely at your own risk. Springtech's Ive heard of before, but am not familiar with their quality. Maybe someone else knows more about these...
