2G suspension kit.

[John Miller]

Hello dsm'ers

I know this question has been asked a thousand times. but I figured I would state my case and get a direct answer.
I'm rebuilding my 1997 eclipse gst manual dsm from the frame up. I wasn't planning on doing the suspension rebuild until after I got it driving well. Upon further inspection I have deducted that most of the joints are shot and really loose. Since I already have most of the car torn apart I was wondering what complete kit I should buy. I'm not looking for something super highend, but not a piece of junk either. Again I want a complete kit (or just front kit) and my budget is around 500. Let me know what you guys think.

What exactly are you looking to replace? If you're looking to completely rebuild your suspension you won't find a "kit" that contains everything.

I apologize for not specifying,
I would like to replace both lower control arms, upper control arms, the metal bracket where the wheel bearing mounts into, and that is all I really need. I will be using the stock "coilovers" that the dsms came with.

If you're talking front suspension this will get you the knuckle and lower arms. This is cheaper than the knuckle is by itself, sold per side. When I did the suspension on my talon I bought those, replaced all the bushings, and new shocks all around. Felt like a totally different car.

This kit exists because of a ball joint recall. It is the least expensive route to get new OEM control arms and ball joints.

BTW that's only the lowers.
