2GNT-guru's, I need some help. I need to replace my 95RS front shocks and springs and front cv joints. However I do not have experience on the different possibilities. This is the case. Apparently one of my springs is broken. Also need to replace some bushings front and rear (probably go for the Prothane Bushing Kit). Also probably my front cv joints on one side are busted, so need to replace this as well. So de-assembling the most of the front suspension, I thought better to replace shocks and springs altogether. Saves time and having lined up the wheels later again. Here's where I need some help. I see many shocks possibilities and spring coils. What do you guys recommend to do best? I do not want to lower my car, as I already have troubles with some roadbumps here. I found (included the links): Monroe shocks about $70: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/products/products.php?year=1995&make_text=mitsubishi&model_text=eclipse&category=suspension&subcategory=shock_absorber KYB GR-2 shocks $90 for a pair (what about Front Shock Bellows, is that separate?): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-SHOCKS-STRUTS-ECLIPSE-TALON-FRONTS-95-99-98-97-96_W0QQitemZ220159399433QQihZ012QQcategoryZ33582QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem TOKICO HP2 $137 a pair: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKICO-HP-2-SHOCKS-FRONTS-ECLIPSE-TALON-95-99_W0QQitemZ160164351672QQihZ006QQcategoryZ33590QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem But still, need the coil springs as well. These are ranging from $10- $15 on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-MITSUBISHI-ECLIPSE-COILOVER-SPRING-BLUE-GS-RS-98_W0QQitemZ130161678156QQihZ003QQcategoryZ33582QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-Mitsubishi-Eclipse-Coilover-Lowering-Spring-96-97_W0QQitemZ200161444907QQihZ010QQcategoryZ33582QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-MITS-ECLIPSE-RACING-COILOVER-SPRING-GSX-GST-96-97_W0QQitemZ270174952122QQihZ017QQcategoryZ33582QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I find also complete sets: DropZone Racing Struts/Shocks+Coilovers about $260 for front and rear. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DropZone-Racing-Struts-Shocks-Coilovers-95-99-Eclipse_W0QQitemZ130162436911QQihZ003QQcategoryZ33586QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem What is the best to do, not spending the most bucks. I just need good or better replacement from my stock ones. Any help is surely appreciated! (just another short question on the axle assemblies: what's better, the EMPI ones or the ARC?) Thanks guys!

Checkout Advanceautoparts.com for those KYB GR2's and the bellows the prices are cheaper than autozone. I don't shop at autozone for this reason, Parts are the same both at Advance auto and Autozone but when comes to SAVING money. Advanceauto wins.

Good thread Mybad for stepping in I also need to replace my too.

2 more Questions would you Gurus recommend EiBach ProKit springs with KYB GR2 or the Tokico. I'm going for the PROKIT its somewhat stock height abit lower but Which shocks/struts would be a great match with these Eibach's Advancesuto has the PROKIT for 216 not bad cheapest I found them
