suspension
Its me agian.
My 2001 3g eclipse gt.
Im planing to drop my car. And i was looking to buy the suspension(springs, shocks, struts). When i looked on line i saw shock absurbers for the back and struts for the front. And when i check out my car i found out that i have Sturt all around. SO what do i do. Get left front and right front, in front and back. Or they sell back left and back right sturts also.

its not after market im sure, well not 100% sinse it is Used car. but when i went to the mechanic he told me its strut all around. If u want , ill take the pictures and when i get home from school ill post them. So that you could see what i got.
I need to find out what to do. Cause i want to drop my car and i dont even know what to get. I was about to buy KYB shock ab for the back and for the front KYB struts. But after my friend told me to check make sure that i have everything in order , i realised i didnt have shocks AB in the back it was stuts. So i went to the mechanic and he told me that i got Sruts all around.

and as stated in the factory service manual, the rear has shocks. so if you have struts on you rear, then they are aftermarket struts and they are wrong.

this is unless you have a ****load of money to waste, in that case, choose the JIC magic A2s(also in the suspension section).
i did that write-up for this exact question.

RE: suspension
i just talked to KYB , and they told me that thats not possible that it was stock, they talled it was modified before for lowering or somthing alse. NOt sure what. SO i guess i dont have to buy new suspension just new springs. ( so eclsipe u are right it was modifide before i bough the car.)
By the way any sugestion how low i should go..... NJ
