[da kang3]

does anyone know if i can use the stock springs from an 03 evo 8 on my 95 eclipse gsx? can i just change them out with no modification to them? if i could that would be great since i am able to get some for free.

I have gotten ahold of some stock evo 8 mr springs, so far they will fit the front of my 1g awd. I will pull the rear shocks soon and check there, but I will post the sizes for record.

Evo 8 mr front, 6.5 inch outer, 5.5inner, 11.5 tall
rear, 10.5 tall, 4 inch outer, 3 inner.

If anyone knows the rates I could use the info.

NEW INFO... The front MR springs will fit on the 1g struts, but the rears are too short unless you make a height adapter. The front active coils are the same.SOOOO
the wire diameter for the MR front is 14.7mm
and the diameter on the MR rear is 12.4mm
awd dsm 1g is front 14.3mm
rear 11.4mm
This effects the spring rates and all. So the front MR is actually not much stiffer and all the super coolness is in the Bilstein inverted monotube strut. Which might fit a 1g dsm in the front. I am also checking into the info for a hub-brake swap from a EVO 8.
