    need parts compatibility tip

    was wondering if
    2000 - 2005 4cyl Eclipse engine bay & mounting points/heights etc

    are a match with 03 galant 2.4

    wasn't sure if aftermarket front upper strut bar/brace
    made for base model eclipse

    would work (hood clearance / closure) ?


    if not, anyone aware of a source/website
    that may have 2.4L 8G strut braces ?

    thx everybody

    Almost everything from a 3g eclipse fits the 8g, the strut brace should be fine, I use a stock 3g strut brace on my car.

    19mm rear sway bar from a 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring Coupe LXi and Dodge Stratus Coupe are the same ones off of a Galant GTZ

    For an 8G strut brace you could try to get your hands on an 8G VR4 front strut brace, as they come with them from the factory. That's another option you could pursue.

    Probably not from a 8G VR4, from what I read here before, the usdm length is different than the rest of the world (VR4)

    I say the strut brace off from the 3G eclipse will be the easiest and cheapest to get.


    Speaking of that, I have one selling, feel free to make any offer, you can find my thread in the market place. (I don't mean to make any money, even just the shipping will be fine for me :p )

    Yea that makes sense. I keep forgetting the USDM have a different suspension set-up. Are they closer to a Diamante set-up?

    JDM 8G Galants share suspension from the 7G USDM Galants.

    Would that mean also world market Galants? Like in South America?
