evo 9 mr springs? - Club3G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 3G Forums

blk8_9eclipse · 09/30/2008, 05:35 PM

so someone told me that you could swap the evo 9 mr springs with the stock springs on the eclipse. is this possible in anyway or is it just a load of bullshit?

blk8_9eclipse · 09/30/2008, 07:39 PM

anyone?

Y? unless you are getting the springs for free, its going to be cheaper and look better if you just get some aftermarket springs such as eibach pro-kit.

acually my friend with an evo mr just purchased teins therefore he might be giving his stock springs to me but i was wondering if the stock springs from an evo with aftermarket struts would work.

blk8_9eclipse · 10/01/2008, 09:44 AM

anyone have any thoughts on this?

Just invest the time to try it out.
If they don't fit you'll know before they go on the car.

blk8_9eclipse · 10/01/2008, 10:07 AM

ok i think im going to give it a try today ill let you know how it turns out

Special_K · 10/01/2008, 10:26 AM

I would say no, but if they are free its worth a try.

The rears may go. Our rear suspension is shared with the 2G Eclipse, and so it may also mate up with Evo parts as well. I doubt the front will but you never know.

Keep in mind that "fit" is only part of it. The spring rates will be totally different, maybe in a good way, maybe not. And the ride height will be completely unpredicatable. You may get the springs to fit, be excited about them being stiff rates, only to lower the car and find it either scraping the ground or riding like a 4x4, or some combination of both.

Or it may work. You'd be the first to try it as far as I know. Good luck -
