As using two cars with autos...five speed swap, DOOOOOO EEEEEET!
Wait your thinking of keeping it auto? i dont know how to drive a auto lol both my cars are stick!
Only sonata f5m42 swapped. N/A build in motion.
Can you do some launches from redline with it first? You know, beat on it before you switch it out?
LOL j/k have fun on the swap!

My old wheels dropped on stagg struts and megan lowering springs

It actually rides really good. This was from yesterday. I hit some huge bumps on the highway where it actually had a sign that said bump. She took it like a champ xD
It's comparable to my brothers stock gsx except a little more firm. I really love these struts/springs so far. The look is like a backwards rake still, but it's fine.
Don't know how I miss this comment either haha! So true though.

Thanks for the update Keith. Looks good! I'll be ordering my struts & springs sometime soon. Hoping to have it done by the time MOD rolls around.

I'm convinced, gunmetal wheels fit well on any color car! Looking good homie! Unless something big happens between now and MOD, I'll still be stock height, but when I do finally drop, I probably will give these shocks/struts a whirl, and if they blow, fuck it they're cheap enough.

So far I have 0 regrets with this setup. It takes pot holes like a champ and feels really sporty. I actually have confidence around corners where before It felt like the car was just ready to roll over lol.
Funny you should say that too. Just put Megan headers on it, full 3in exhaust, 36in x 7in round magnaflow mid muffler. Quiet when I want it to be but roars when I hammer down. Definitely some power increase throughout the rpm range. I'll put up pics tomorrow.

old:
1g GST downpipe with turbo flex
I bought a 2 bolt flange and didn't have to use it! The 2 bolt bolted to this weird 3 bolt for the eclipse gs. I was like o.O awesome.
New headers on:
Cut my magnaflow 7in round off the rotor glow and stuck it on this to help quiet it down for the cops. Obviously the 1g GST downpipe was NOT a direct bolt on. I had to cut a stock turbo's worth of length out of it lol:
I actually feel a nice power increase after 3krpms.. It's a decent car now lol (compared to v6).
