Well with my rear springs relaxed its time to replace them. And of course why not get something good. I am looking for the Eibach springs for my car (kit 6019.14), and need a good online retailer. I tried Autoworld.com but after a week of not seeing it appear on my credit card, I called them and it wasn't in their system. So I am looking for someone who has great prices, and will actually ship the product. Who are your favorite online retailers?

No idea where to get parts but if your doing it yourself save some bother and do the bushes at the same time and think about the shocks too.

If getting a garage to do it still think about getting shocks and bushes done as if the bits are off the car anyway it is only a wee bit more labour to get the replaced while they are at it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have already had the lovely opportunity to replace the hub assemblies, and the camber kits I am looking at do replace the bushings too. But I think it may only be on one control arm. I'll definately look into the bushings though. I figured I may have to replace the shocks as well. The eibach kit for my car is a lowering kit, so the shocks may be necessary <sp>, an alignment will be manditory (hence the camber kit)

They carry Eibach but I don't see the kit that you are looking for. Give them a call. They should be able to special order.

I like RRE (Road Race Engineering). They're in California, and are pretty much considered to be THE place when it comes to tuning Mitsubishi Eclipses. Since the Galant (in later years) uses many of the same parts, they may carry your springs as well. They are online at www.roadraceengineering.com (they are about road racing - as in the track, not fast & furious on the street...)

www.tirerack.com also is trustworthy and typically decent on priceing. You should be paying "about" $250 shipped from most anywhere.
