I did a make and model search and it came up with the kit for my lancer! Is this for real? A whole set of eibach springs for 165 bucks? I could buy that right now

EDIT: I see that the description says spirit/shadow. Those won't work oh my H-body...will they?

Yes they should. They only sell one spring for all our cars now. It wasn't that the other springs would only fit certain cars, they just had heavier or lighter spring rates.

Thanks man. This seems like a sweet deal, especially since all I got are the original springs, and they're old and tired

I looked at the GR2's and they seemed like they weren't much of a performance upgrade, have you used them?

most all Dodges but the mini vans and L bodys can use those

I will put a set on the wagon this spring if they have them still.

GR2 will last about 3 months and then you'll have a pair of soft struts again.

Cory,
You got pics of how your car sits now? I was thinking about cutting mine as well.

does anyone know much about the Gabriel Ultras? They don't seem like anything special, but they make struts for our cars.

the very current best as konis are gone are the Monroe GPs, there is a guy on Ebay selling full sets. He bought up the old Shelby stock years ago.
