i've read people here talking about eibach springs?

does eibach makes lowering springs for the 3G? it says that it has only for the eclipse 2wd 89 model. my question is would this also fits our mirage?

makes your car unusably low IMO. Eibach did (maybe still do) make springs for our cars in Europe though...

Eibach Pro-kit springs or Eibach Sportline springs made for a 1G FWD or 1G AWD will bolt right up to a 3G CSM. The Eibach AWD springs are a bit stiffer than the springs made for a FWD. Also, the Sportline springs drop the car a little bit more than the Pro-kit springs do. I believe the Pro-kit springs lowering the car around 1.25" and the Sportline springs lower the car around 2". On a side note, I would recommend upgraded your struts to some KYBs at the same time or soon after switching to some Eibach springs. Just for a smoother and more balanced ride.

what about a setup of koni struts and eibach springs would the pair be a perfect match.

what would be a tolerable drop? or is it better to maintain the stock height of the car making those lowering springs useless

I just cut 1.5 coils off each spring... made for a good height and actually made the car more stable. It used to feel real light a floaty over bumps on the highway but now it feels solid.

Berz out.

You'd need 89-92 references for the parts in question, as those are probably the CC Lancer fitment of 93ish + model years.

This is a dumb question but couldn't you put the stock suspension front a 1g talon fwd into a csm and that would lower it some? Since lowering springs for them lower it more for these, it could only make sense.
