#33188, "v6 avenger suspension on 98 eclipse. good or bad idea"


          

I found all four coilovers off a v6 avenger for $200 my stock strut are shot so I am wandering if I should get this set up for my car. Or possibly the entire avenger suspension sway bars and all. Good or bad idea?

The front springs on the Avenger are not interchangeable with the 2GNT. The rear will fit, but are a heavier spring rate and are slightly taller.

I believe they use the same struts we do, but an not 100% certain.

Dang. They have a 97 eclipse as well but they want $75 per coilover I have 17 inch rims with khumo 245/45 tires and they rub. I'm looking for a good suspension set up

When you say the springs aren't compatible do you mean the springs or the whole clover?I am wanting to unbolt my springs and struts all in one piece and replace them with the avenger suspension. Like a bolt on kinda thing. Will this still not work.
