My Eibach suspension

[StallionProject]

So the other day I finally installed my Eibach sport springs on the 86'
And just thought I would post a before and after thread. Specification wise it stiffened up my ride but not in a harsh way, it's real responsive now haven't hit enough hard corners but it seems to be holding its own.

On to the pics

I don't know where you found such a clean Starion but I look forward to seeing it in person. You better come out to some track days at Fontana with that thing or if anything go to MOD! Nice work on the suspension, it looks like it ended up being the perfect drop for that car.

holy mother of... that starion looks like it rolled of the showroom floor yesterday. I applaud you for owning that. it is the ONLY one I have ever seen that I would drive.

Wow, good luck on the wire tuck

Yea man it sure is. Very few vendors most of our parts our fabricated up ourselves or bought used. It's all worth it though. I'm considering a 4g63/64 swap but not until I get another DD.

Wow, good luck on the wire tuck

Thanks I'm gonna need it

Yea the 1jz/2jz swaps are pretty common with these along with LS1 swaps. I prefer to keep it in the same line up though.

Ugh... Bastardization. If your gonna swap it, at least use a 4g63.... I have to smack someone if the swapped a starquest to a V-8...

I had a project car sitting at my friend's house. Red 87 was gonna throw in a 4G64 wideblock with a 4G63 head, but the shell was too far gone.

if you haven't heard of it yet, :: Project Zero G :: is the best source for RWD 4G63

we actually have quite alot of these in the uk, ive seen a few myself but only on the second glance ive realised what it was ! but none so far ive seen are as clean as yours. here is the uk link Mitsubishi Starion Owners Club U.K. Index Page

also there are some being sold at the moment! quite cheap and is tempting to buy one for the fun of it as a weird project

 

[RileyRobertson]

Yea that is a classic! Never seen one in "New" condition

 

[1GRedRocket]

that is pretty fricken awesome!

 

[92AWDHX40]

Thats sweet love the color.

 

[StallionProject]

Well certainly got quite a bit of feedback since last I checked. Thanks again. It's far from "new" I do appreciate the compliment though I'm replacing what I can to keep it running strong and looking pretty. Just takes a lot of patience because there are hardly any parts for it.

Yeah if you can afford to pick one up and store it/restore it I would definitely recommend it they are very affordable just takes time to gather information and parts for them. But worth it, they get so much attention.

you live in yorba linda? were like 5 minutes from each other. if you go to MOD ill be there with my red 87. are those the sportline springs or the pro-kit?

I love the starions. I wish some days I still had mine. It took 2 years to build it and I'm not good at the tuning so I eventually traded it to another guy for his 95 eagle talon tsi. Here are the only pictures I have of it. I may have some more I'll have to look. It was totaled and parted out.
