Sweet! I may be attempting a similar setup once I get a little extra cash. I love the lowered evened out look!

 

would it be possible to put the rrm camber kit on along with the lowering springs ??

uh, yeah it's possible, lol that's actually what they are for, to correct for camber after you lower the car, but it's sort of pointless, you should still have a proper alignment done, since lowering the car will introduce toe as well, and you have to correct that through your tie rods, and it's gotta be pretty well bang on, or you will have abnormal tire wear. Any alignment shop you take it to will be able to correct the camber, and they're not going to charge you 80$ for hardware.

 

The problem therein lies in the fact that the RA has no stock camber adjustment in the front, only rear. If you are dropping your RA, it is imperative to have either camber bolts (for stock or replacement struts) or coilovers with camber adjustment built in to the top plate. Toe is adjustable to a degree in both front and rear.

 

I took mine to sears auto to get it aligned. They seem to be careless when driving my car, grinding gears, staling etc. But they did a good job on the alignment

 

where did you get your struts from?
will these from ebay do?

part source wanted a 140 a strut they were monre
i noticed in your pictures that they looked similar
anyone have any suggestions ?

 

Yes I was wondering the same thing. Where did purchase the the front struts and how much were they?

 

For Canadians...

front:

rear:

That's where i got mine...free shipping...only took 2 days to arrive.

 

I ordered both the front and rear from advanced auto parts. They had a crazy deal the weekend I ordered mine. I believe it was 15% off total bill, free shipping, and a $50 mail in rebate. I don't remember the final cost, but it was a good deal. I listed the part numbers on the first post. Just google those and it should come up with advanced autos website.

 

one more question for the struts. Do I order 2 identical ones or does it say Front left and front right, because it seems like there is only one item for the front struts. Am I missing something here?

 

Does anyone have a friend with a 2000-2005 Eclipse who has changed their shocks/struts ?

I would like a comparison of the mounting points.

I noticed that KYB has AGXs for the Eclipse.
The Eclipse has left and right front struts because of the sway bar mounts on the strut. A cut off wheel would fix that for us.
The rears look the same and use the same size bolt at the lower arms.
I confirmed this with the CAPS software like what dealers use to find parts.

Basically if the fronts fit then we have the option.

 

interesting, would be worth checking out...

 

I'll be doing this shortly, hopefully within the next few weeks.

 

all done pics coming lol

 

slammed theres space in the wheel well just crappy picture quality lol
