I'm getting sick of my eclipse having not even a 3" clearance from the ground, and am looking at replacing the springs back to factoryish. I'm using koni adjustable yellows, and I'm just not sure if the spring will fit on that type of strut (haven't worked on suspension prior). I happen to have gotten my oil return line ripped off yesterday as there was a unavoidable brick placed in the middle of the road. That isn't enjoyable to have to worry about. Thanks for reading!
 
The springs should work with the yellows. Also making the yellows last longer than if you were using lowering springs, by going to stock springs. Your spring rate will be much lower than what you are used to now.
 
Just the tools to do it to include a spring compressor other then that you should be able to re use all the parts if they are in good shape. There is a video on youtube of a guy doing a 1 g pretty close to the same beside the front but still the same process.
 
The front are some fake ground-control coilovers I believe, as GC support wasn't able to recognize them as their own. Those should still have the little thing for the spring to rest on correct?
