Anti-sway bars, Greddy exhaust, Tech springs: installation problems

[Rasul (Russia)]

Hi guys!

A friend of mine has a 1995 Eclipse Turbo FWD. We ordered Greddy 3" exhaust, anti-sway bars, Tech 2" drop springs, KYB adjustable shocks and some other mods.

We tried to install all those parts today but we had some problems.

1. Tech 2" drop springs are too SHORT for the KYB adjustable shocks!!! They don't sit tight. Do I need some extra parts to make them sit properly? Will we have alighnment problems?
2. Suspension Techniques rear antisway bar has a different shape in comparison to the stock one. There's much more gap between that anti-sway bar and the rear axle which makes exhaust istallation almost impossible

Does anyone have pics of the Greddy 3" exhaust on the car and off the car? I need the same pics of Tech springs and anti-sway bar.



Thanks in advance,

Well tech springs suck arse for one...Anyhow when you put them on the struts they may not seat off the car, but once they are tightened down and the placed on the car, just make sure they are aligned and lower the car and they will seat properly. The swaybar and exhaust is always an issue. Im not sure about 2g's but I would just call ST and ask them if theyre rear bar prevents the insatall of a 3" exhaust (greddy). I know there are bars out there that don't, so if that particular one does, return it and go to http://www.rernetworking.com/rmdsm/

I've heard alot of people having problems with rear swaybars and exhaust.... I've got RM Swaybar Kit and Thermal Research 3" Exhaust System and it fits perfect.... no problems with the install.... hope this helps

are you sure you got the FWD rear swaybar and not the AWD version?

 

[johnfsmith]

Yes, I have the FWD version.

Does your exhaust go OVER the rear axle (like the stock one) or UNDER the rear axle? If over do you have any problems with the clearance between the muffler and the ground? Don't you scratch the muffler?

Thanks,

It goes under the rear axle and I have no problems with clearance and It's lowered about 1 1/2". No scratched muffler.
