    what exactly is the difference?

    So there's an eibach pro kit for sale on craigslist in my area for fifty bucks, for a 2g awd. What exactly is the difference between the eclipse springs and ours? I've heard of people using eclipse springs on 7g's, but I know that they won't sit in the spring beds perfectly, so how would you make them work?

    You can buy 2g struts I'm pretty sure.

    I think the spring rate is a littel different too...the eclipse is heavier that our cars so the ride might be stiffer than if you bought the kit for a 7G. Not a big deal though

    But if the Eclipse is heavier then wouldn't that make them drop the car less? Like v6 springs on a i4 8g. Idk.

    shocks are the same design but a little different size wise and the 2g springs are shorter than the 7g springs, just putting on a stock 2g setup would be like a half in drop just like running the avenger suspension like mystic j posted a while back.

    someone on here is/was selling a 7g prokit

    Well, if I can get my hands on a pro kit for the 7g that'd be best. I'd rather not switch to 2g struts. So if anyone is selling one let me know!
