Hi everyone, I'm Derek. From Canada just bought my first dsm a week or so. First standard for me as well.
I WAS driving 350 km a day and the transmission went in my automatic dodge sx 2.0, which wasn't worth fixing so I went on the hunt for a new daily. Urgently needing one and not many people at the ready to show me their used cars for sale I settled for a 95 gst eclipse. And am starting to love this car more and more everyday.
I actually want to fix this car up now, something I never thought I'd want to do with a car. It is not in the greatest condition it runs good and the internals are in good condition but it's exterior is a little beat up and interior needs a bit of tlc.
The main issue I have with it right now is its way to low for me. And the suspenssion seems shot because of how low the springs are. It almost feels like I am going to catch air from hitting a tiny pot hole. From center of the wheel to top of fender it measures 13.5" front 12.5" back and I belive that's on stock shocks.
Suspension is one of those grey areas where it all varies from person to person on what you feel is better or how you drive. But I am looking for some decent ground clearance with a some what comfortable ride but also wanna be able to slice through those corners when I feel like ripping it up. Was kind of thinking koni yellows with prokits because of the clearance but have no idea how they feel
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated and hello everyone!
