Bought a 2g Eclipse

^^ dammit!!!

Yeah NGK's are recommended for 420a's last time I checked on 2gnt.com.

Nick job with the car. It will get you into the 30's on the highway for sure if you drive sensibly. I have a '98 GS and you will not want to pour money into the performance unless it is just Intake/Header/Exhaust. You will need to spend a lot of money to get any noticeable power beyond those items. Those wheels look great though! The cars do handle well, even the FWD's.

Beware the HG tends to go around 100K if it hasn't been replaced. That's all for now, keep the thread updated.

So far the HG hasn't gone out yet. I dont intend on do alot of mods other than basics. I'll do more suspension than anything. I like my cars to handle. It already does pretty good in the twisties.

Okay so scratch that^^^^
I bought these tonight

Megan springs in a couple weeks

Nice - wasted no time. Post some pics when they're installed.

**AMSevo8man** · 01-25-2011, 05:54 AM

Will do sir^ I'm probably going to wait till I get get my springs to before I put them on. It would be dumb to put on 4 new shocks then a month later take it all apart again and put springs on

**AMSevo8man** · 01-25-2011, 07:58 PM

So i could use a little help now. I bought my shocks. And I was gonna go with Megan springs. But I dont wanna drop 2 inches. Thats a bit much for me. So what I'm asking is, what would you all recommend as far a springs go? I would like to keep it under 200 if possible

**RallyEclipse98** · 01-27-2011, 10:01 AM

Eibach pro-kit is 1.4" front, 1.5" rear and can be found for around 200.

**AMSevo8man** · 01-27-2011, 10:22 AM

I've been looking and can't find them that cheap. I found Tien S Techs for 150. And H techs for 180.

**RallyEclipse98** · 01-27-2011, 10:37 AM

I have never really heard anything negative about Tien. I'm not an expert in suspension since I live on a gravel road and cannot do a drop.

**AMSevo8man** · 01-27-2011, 02:59 PM

Ha okay good to hear. I think i'll go with the S techs

**AMSevo8man** · 01-28-2011, 05:57 AM

Yeah they didnt start switching it up until 97.

**EvoLuke85** · 01-28-2011, 06:43 PM

Nice car! I had a white 97 gst before I got my evo 9. I really miss that car and will end up getting another one as soon as I find a clean white body!

The turbo 2GA's (95-96) were differentiated from the NA's with a grey stripe running along the bottom of the car. The 2GB's (97-99) had a "turbo" spoiler.

I just got NGK's one range hotter than stock and NGK wires. Total of a little over $80 but I know they are great.
