does anybody have any drop springs to sell for a 97 galant es

a lot of companies make lowering springs. BTW the 97 galant is a 7g, 94-98. do a search as this topic has been brought up a lot.

me personally, i have the Eibach Sport Line springs and stock struts

how much would eibach struts run you?

i just put on eibach springs the pro kit and i find it didnt lower my back that much will the springs drop alittle once they settle

**seth98esT** · 08-09-2003, 11:48 PM

yes they will drop a bit more as things settle

H&R springs anyone? You want them? 2" front and back... I think more IMO.

Send PM if you want them.

**seth98esT** · 08-10-2003, 09:05 AM

how much!

I dunno, it will most likely cost more to ship them than anything... stupid Alaska.

just installed h&r and kyb combo on the '94.. around 1.5in drop.

rides much better now

guys... when installing a proper lowering springs... the ride gets stiffer right? so it's not really that comfortable when driving? is it?

So long as you stick with good quality springs like Eibach you really don't sacrifice much at all. It's a little stiffer but still comfortable.

Eibach Pro Kit for 7g is 1.25 (Front) and 1" (Back). The ride is slightly more stiff and you can feel a difference in handling characteristics but if you are going for a visible drop, its not that big. If you plan to ride on 18"s maybe the gap won't be sooo much...but don't expect a "tuck" look.

To give you an idea here are some pics. (Sorry..these are old pics)

Those are my 1st set of wheels (17"s)...on stock height

Thats a pic after I installed the Eibach Pro kit. (Front looks visibly lower..but the rear not that noticable)

I am currently riding on KYB AGX's and SKUNK2 Coilovers.

what about those other brands like tein, in oz we have king springs dunno if you guys have heard of them... but i went to a suspension specialist and he quoted me a full set of KYB struts with king springs.. i think drop is about 1.5" dunno how low.. the shop owner gave me a price of $1175.00 AUD so probably about $500 USD

sounds about right.
my drop ran $640

Sprint springs= $150
KYB AGXs (4)= $340
Installation and 4 wheel alignment = $150

TOTAL $640 + an $85 strut bar from Freedom Design

So $500 is that bad, but around ive never heard of KING.

hey guys, some advice needed. i haven't installed any drop springs yet. i've been thinking of the eibach pro-kit. my concern is that it claims a drop of 1.5" front, 1" rear. but i'm looking at my galant stock and it already looks like it is lower in front than in the rear. won't the pro-kit add to the uneven look?
