My problem with the AGXs was that the body of the strut itself was not long enough. No matter how long of a spring I stuffed onto the strut the back tires were tucking. Add 3.5" of length and even with the super short Ground Control lowering springs the back tires have about two fingers (good measurement technique right?) of clearance. Perfect.

what I don't understand is what about using a FWD DSM rear struts seeing that they are much longer than AWD springs?
Huh? All the struts are the same length, it's the location of the spring perch that's different.

There is a difference, awd struts and spring are much shorter in length than the fwd that's when you order lower springs they ask if it's a fwd or awd. I made that mistake when I put fwd lower rear lowering spring in a awd, it actually jack the car higher than lowering it,lol.

What I was saying is if the awd is shorter in length, used the fwd and he should be about to make up the differences.

Example: eibach springs;

AWD DSM:
Part Number: 6011.140
Model: Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD 1990-1994
Front Drop: 1.0 in
Rear Drop: 1.0 in


FWD DSM;
Part Number: 6010.140
Model: Mitsubishi Eclipse FWD 1990-1994
Front Drop: 1.0 in
Rear Drop: 1.0 in


Same springs, same drop, different part numbers,lol. The FWD has a solid rear axle which sits much lower than the AWD rear end, so that's what I'm saying to use a FWD rear struts and spring that will make up the difference.
