#608, "Now way!! Food for thought..."
In response to In response to 6


          

1" and 1.5" after settling in stock form for the Eclipse/Talon...I haven't forgotten about the spring rates. I bought my GC's used and the guy I bought them from didn't send all the information to me. Anyway I emailed him and are awaiting his response. Anyway back to the lowering. I mentioned this before on the old board, I think, but since my GC's were rated for the weight of the Galant they are obviously stronger than plain vanilla prokits, so I removed(clipped) half a coil all the way around which are about .7" for a .5 coil. That will let me lower over 2". For me anything past 2" is too restrictive for dailey driving. Keep in mind that clipping springs soften it's tension so high rate springs can half coil removed. I couldn't choose my rates so I clipped, and they work good with the 5 way adjustable Tokicos(NO they aren't bouncy like those clipped civics rolling thougout Socal). My ride is pretty firm and can be controlled for ZERO roll(or zero comfort). I haven't been able to fully tune it yet.
