Suspenion's shot, is this a good upgrade?

Aight here's the deal. When I hit bumps now it feels like my wheel is playing basketball and the back kinda sways back and forth until it levels out so I'm assuming I need new struts or shocks or both (excuse my ignorance). I want to get something that better than stock because compared to my '91GS (R.I.P.) my '95GST handles like CRAP!!!! I saw this Tokico Front Rear Suspension Kit - Illumina Adjustable
1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse for $575 at thepartsbin.com (Parts Bin - Auto Parts and Accessories Catalog - 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse Suspension Kit) but I don't know if I have to get anything esle with it plus it has a 1.25" drop and I really didn't want to go lower than 1" but I'm sure I could live with the .25"

I definitly know I don't need anything for racing (not for a while anyway). I have 17's... not sure if I have to factor that in.

I would buy that kit. One of my buddies has had that exact same kit on his for almost 2 years now and loves it. I would suggest getting a camber kit with it though, anything over an inch drop they suggest getting a camber kit. Since your FWD a camber kit is a must if you want to get good traction. If you have any other questions let me know.

I say go for it. I'm in the same boat as you, my car's suspension is shot too.

Alot of people in my area run tokico and love them. I just ordered the tokico illumina package last night for only $470 shipped brand new off e-###. 100% tokico product just ebay had it for the cheapest The same seller still has 4 more packages available so I would look into that and save yourself $100 + $$$

Thats a killer deal!!!


When I bought my Tokico Illuminas (5-way adjustable) I bought them off ebay brand new authentic for $330. THen I tried out the ebay coilovers which everybody bashes and say it sucks. I'm going to admit it, it ain't the best. But so far 8 months trouble free and they don't ride as bad as people say in my opinion. So my whole suspension came out to less than $400.

Now, however if you get the Tokico Package, just get some camber kits up front and in the rear and your good. Also inspect your bushings, they might need replacement after blown shocks, or just simply might be bad from age.
