I think you can still find the Eibach lowering spings in Ebay though if you look. Ask a lot of questions before you buy of course...

All right just got my car back from getting the lowering Suspesion, I'm still waiting on the camber kit, so right now my rear wheels are at-3.o each.

I love the way it rides its like a whole new car.

The only thing is the front drivers side is a little higher then the passenger side is and the rear drivers side is a little lower then the rear passenger side.

Will the camber kit fix this or is this something else?

They told me they just alligned the front end so shouldn't it be at the same height.

let me know, I wanna know what to say when I go back on Wed. for the camber kit.

Thanks

The drop looks great, I'd let the springs settle for a couple weeks, than see how it looks as far as the height issues are. My frontpassengers side still sits a little higher than the front drivers side. The camber wont fix that issue I believe, it'll just fix the negative camber. If you want another improvement in your handling, try adding a Suspension Techniques rear Sawy Bar.

Yea i love it, i didn't expect this big of a difference and the ride isn't bad. I'll give it a couple weeks to settle and the camber kit should help.

Now to start with my exhaust.

I'm not sure, I was thinking about taking it by an exhaust shop and seeing what they say

but I've also been looking on ebay, under "eclipse",I found some headers i know are an exact fit, a catback w/ muffler thatshould fit, the only thing I can't find exact is the flex pipe. It never has that little curve up at the end that connects to the headers

and is that where people say you need the 3" extension? If anyone knows where that would go in relation to a eclipse system let me know.

I think that Badstrat's going to know the answer to that one... Maybe PM him if he doesn't answer here?

Aren't most eclipse exhaust systems all "fart cans"? The Stratus has an exhaust system through Borla, and I think Dynomax no certain on the last company though.

Yea I found a nice twin tipped muffler I like, but i'm leaning to taking it in to get some help with keeping the tone as low as possible and not to loud.

I'm not a fan of the coffee can look
