Whats the typical lifespan of the Konis on a 2g with the H&R Sport springs and normal driving? (if I'm gonna spend $700+ on that setup, I want to make sure they'll last for awhile..hehe) Thanks.

sorry i dont know, but i hope it is a while because i have my koni yellows staring at me right now just waiting to get on my car, just waitin for the springs, so why did u choose H&R? Did u get a camber kit?

no..I got my cambers corrected by and alignment shop. I chose the H&Rs because most of the people I asked that had them were really happy with them. Never heard any bad comments unlike the Eibach (sportlines). Also, I've already had experiences with the eibachs and they're no better than my sprints. The tokico shocks and eibach sportlines were a terrible combination on my crx. totally too bouncy. anyway, from the reviews and testimonies, I thought I'd give h&r's a chance. what springs are you getting?

i am still undecided on the springs, i heard h&r was pretty good, i guess they are some german company with quite a few years of experience, i thought u couldnt adjust the rear camber on a 2g eclipse, i thought u didnt have the setup on yet, and if u dont then how did u get the camber corrected already, well anyways i was also thinkin about the GC coilovers but that might be a little overboard, and then u have to adjust the camber everytime u lower or raise it, otherwise say goodbye to your tires

The back was the easiest to correct. All they do is put washers to push out the tire (I guess + camber). The fronts, I don't know how they did it. The only problem I had with the setup was after I put on my new rims. it rubbed (fenders)like hell in the back (215/17s). but I shaved it myself and it doesn't rub anymore.
