best way to lower convertible.

[NitRous242]

ok whats the diff between convertible and gst shocks? and the rest of the lowering process.

i want a mad low ride, like 3" so im thinking koni yellows or w/e i can afford/find, and coilovers. now do they make them specifically for the convertible, or can i just get ones for eclispse in general?

They must be spefically for a convertable and there was just a thread on this where I receommended custom Ground Controls and someone else metioned Eibach ERS Coilovers. So look into those options first but be prepared to spend good money on a good suspension.

YO

i've gotta a pder and i ran into the same problem first off theres a little you gotta know convertibles. ONly one company makes spings for them, eibach has a pro kit for the spyder GS NOT THE GST. thats the only spring for the convertible eclipse. i got the eibach pro kit and i hate it! it didnt even lower the car it still looks stock next problem is i have a gst and the wieght is diffrent so now the back is sagging.
But the thing most spring companies wont tell you is that other springs fit the spyder's, there just not designed for the spyder because of weight distribution. but they fit if you want a extreme drop and dont mind kickin out the money go for a custom set up like the custom ground controls or the eibach ers system. but if you want a good drop for a little less go with H& R race spings, their a 2.00 and 1.75 you need the staggered setup because the back WILL sag. Then run a good shock beacue those springs are stiff, extremely stiff. definetly an ajustable shock KYB's Koni's or Tockico's. however next you'll runinto camber problems, and theres two ways to fix that cambeer kit or homemade kit
look yo i know this is alot of information but TRUST ME i've already made the mistakes for you and now i'm paying for it!! just trying to help anotha spyder out!
