ADDCO makes one for the galant only one i see is for the back which is 22mm.
Also i see a front sway bar same company for the 3g eclipse and is 19mm.

You should research on making a adjustable sway bar(using oem) and save your self the money of buying a expensive brand. I might try this summer making mine adjustable to see if performance changes enough.

Does anyone know where I could get the clips that keep the shifter cable connected with the shifter?

**Galantman03** · 01-27-2012, 11:14 PM

Are you manual or auto?

yeah that car always was blowing up though

Whats the deal with coilover springs that you see on eBay for sale for like $50? Has anyone ever tried them? They're like the Skunk2 coilovers which dont include a damper/strut, its just the springs with adjustable perches.
I've heard people say they're trash, but no evidence or reasoning to back up that statement. Wanted some insight from someone who has actually had them or knows someone who had them, not just opinion based.

**DTP** · 01-29-2012, 12:24 PM

I'm curious too...

springs rates are inconsistant, not good rates for this car regardless. Ground Controls are better but you need a good strut to back them up with like koni yellows. But since they are inserts you would have to take them to a shop to have them installed

**Exhaust power** · 01-29-2012, 05:30 PM

Before i new this site i bought those ebay coilovers. Soon as i opened the box i knew right away they where horrible at its full height it would of slammed our cars. They where simply too short and too stiff. Some honda guys out there buy them as i seen thats why you see some of them bouncing down the road.... talk about bubbles lol

I have seen them on Hondas at my buddies shop, Complete Fail. He called them sleeve overs. The car was there for engine work, but when I got it up on the rack and the wheels sunk you could see the springs on the strut, I could wiggle the spring assembly around and make them clank on the strut. Sure he was low, but IMO a fuckin deathtrap.

**Blue8g** · 01-30-2012, 10:18 AM

Any Honda guy who knows his stuff says FUUUUU to the eBay sleeves. But Ground Control sleeves?

I fcks with dem.
