where did you get them from? After reading about the counterfeits on the market I'm a bit skeptical about pulling the trigger?

Thanks for that link shark,

But are theses ; 1995 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse galant Full coilover Suspension Adjustable Kits | eBay "cheap" coilovers?

I couldn't find anybody who has ran those before, what are your goals though? Do you just want it lower? Because the only thing that those seem to have is the ability to adjust the ride height. It also makes you wonder, if a well recognized established company is putting them out for $1000 plus, what exactly you are getting?

I want a clean drop, with a big enough gap for clearance for speed bumps ect. without it rubbing, but I also want a nice and non bouncy ride.

What are you guys doing to correct the camber after you lower the car? Is there a kit or adjustable bushings?

Adjustable bushings for the front if needed or else the Ingalls kit

I would suggest a spring shock combo for those needs. Look at the eibach pro kit, lowers a bit keeps clearance for speed bumps and still maintains great ride depending on your strut. 399.99 for a set of coilovers is cheap as hell to me. Most of the nice coilover kits are 1k plus. But look into a spring strut combo for your needs.

Thanks for the info.

The rear awd springs are diferent because you have more weight in the back, so they are stiffer, but anny spring fro a 2g fits in anny 2g. Im using eibac pro kit for a fwd on my gsx and they fit and feel good .

So the fwd ones will work on the awd?

Only the 95-96 years were different. Other wise 97 to 99 they all had the same spring rate.

Coilovers would be overkill; A decent shock / spring combo is what you need. Cheap coilovers are garbage, there's a reason that known brands generally retail for over $1000 per set.
