Default Dropped!!

Well hey all, Happy Easter!!

I finally got the struts and springs in. KYB Excel-G struts aand Eibach Pro springs. BTW, you will need a camber kit for the rear for the 1.5" lowering. Here is some before and after shots...

After

I'm assuming it uses an upper A arm rear ... You can just use spacers (or washers) and longer bolts to space it out to get into specs ... It's usually about 1/4" of spacers ber degree of correction needed... Depending how much needed you might need to get longer bolts

Right you are... but I think I want to get the Eibach on as I've seen others that look like cheap spacers and bolts. Looks like the Eibach one uses a cam method, not sure what the differences are but I sure dont want cheap parts in the suspension.

Heres a look at Eibach's Kit. Specs: Rear +3.0° / -.75° degrees of adjustment.

$70.00


As apposed to these that are 20 bucks more. Specs: Rear -.75°/ +2.0° degrees of adjustment.

$90.00

I prefer the ingalls ones easier to adjust on car then the eccentric type ones

It's truly a crap shoot I've dropped the same cars on same strut/springs and it ranged from no kit ,to a 1.5 kit to a 3 degree kit

Sorry I misread thought the eccentric was front and the bolt eccentric was the rear ... I've gotten ingals for an 01 eclipse (same suspension)
