RRE Camber
Plates and Upper Bearing Plates
|
|
These camber plates are best used for
cars running 2.5" diameter coil over springs. While we do offer them
set up for use with stock diameter springs and stock upper spring
perches, you will loose most of the possible negative
camber adjustment because the bigger
diameter spring will hit the inner strut apron.
They are best for guys that need a lot of negative
camber and change and adjust
camber often. Every time you change
camber, you will need to reset the toe in
adjustment. Because of this, ideally you will have a grasp of
automotive wheel alignment methods and have something to measure
camber with. Something as simple as a
carpenter's protractor will do it.
While they can be used to fix negative
camber caused by a car being stupid low, that is not their
purpose. We'd like to see these going on cars that get autocrossed and
go to time trials and open tracking days.
A nice feature of our camber plates is
that when used with coil over springs, they separate the shock load
from the spring loads. Most camber plates
will put both loads into the spherical bearing, severely shortening
it's service life. We separate the spring load onto a flat radial
bearing. All of the camber
plate parts are available separately for
service and repair.

KYB AGX Adjustable Struts and Shocks
The new AGX series are the most affordable adjustable shock to fit your Eclipse. KYB's quality is top notch. The AGX shocks allow you to tune your shocks
to match driving conditions in seconds. No need to lift vehicle or remove
anything to change settings. Damping rate is selected with an external
knob on the shock body or a screwdriver slot at the top of the piston rod,
depending on model. Lifetime warranty by KYB.
$525 set of four '89-94
$450 set of four '95-99 |

Tokico Illumina 5 Way Adjustable Shocks
These are our favorite for the 2G Eclipses. They are less harsh
than the GABs or AGXs and more adjustable than the Konis. There is a 5
way adjustment at the top of the shock for both the front and rear
shock for convenience. Turing the adjuster stiffens up both
compression and rebound damping. Eclipse and Talon. Guaranteed by
Tokico as long as you own your car.
They are available only for the '95-'99 $550 Set of four |

KYB GR-2 Gas Shocks & Struts
KYB makes the factory suspension for the Eclipse, and these shocks
are a great replacement value. These are a tiny bit stiffer than
stock; definitely not a sports shock.

Eibach Pro Kit Springs
We strongly recommend purchasing a quality shock absorber along with
these springs. They are approximately 20% stiffer than stock. The purpose
of the shock is to control the spring energy. Get more spring & you need
more shock. If you are on a budget and can't afford both, get shocks only
for better handling. If your only purpose is to get all the chicks & look
cool with a lousy ride, get springs only.

2G Camber Correction
|
|
Most tire wear problems are caused by not having an alignment performed
after changing the height of the car. As the tie rods travel through an
arc with any height change, the toe in of the tires change. This must
always be re-adjusted with any height change. Most guys see the
camber being negative and think that is the
major cause of the excess wear on the inside tires. It is actually
caused by the tires toeing out when the car is lowered. This will clean
the tread off the inside of the tire faster than anything.
|
|
2G Rear Camber Correction Kits
'95-'99
The rear kits are spacers and longer bolts that spaces the upper rear
control arm out from the body to correct about +2 degrees. They are set up
to correct for the amount of lowering you would get with the Eibach
Pro-Kit springs. If additional washers are used, you can get a little more
positive.
$40 for the entire rear of the car.

Energy Suspension Bushing Kits
These urethane bushings are stiffer than stock rubber bushings. They
significantly reduce wheel hop and alignment changes under cornering
stresses. While they can be quite affordable to buy, be careful what you
wish for. They can be a major pain to install. They often require pressing
or heating with a torch to remove the original bushings. Some of the
bushings can be very difficult to get to. OK, now that we warned you, they
do work. We use them on all our race cars and our own street cars, well
worth the work.

Prothane Bushing Kits
Here is an alternative to Energy Suspension kits. The bushings are
red in color and stiffer than Energy stuff. Well you ask, how stiff?
Rock hard stiff. Boing !!! :-) The full kit costs a little more than
Energy but you get more bushings than Energy. These are split bushing
in design and a lot easier to install than Energy's one piece design.
You still have have to burn out the old worn factory rubber and take
the metal sleeve out. We only offer these in full-kit only and are
for 2g (95-99) only Eclipse.
Prothane also offers the total motor mount replacement for 1g and
2g. On 1g the rear, tranny side, and timing belt side is a total
replacement. The front is an insert only. On 2g's the timing belt and
tranny side is total replacement, the front and rear is insert only
like the Energy one. We also offer the timing belt side and front
separately, both 1g and 2g front and timing belt side are the same.
