lightening the load
« on: September 24, 2007, 04:26:07 PM »

since my car is falling apart and my advances to buy another car i have decided to buy a daily driver strip my car and start from bare chassis, so far i have decided to go with removing the a/c, and power steering, the rear seats and replace with a c pillar bar, remove all interior panels air bags and most of the center console, put in carbon fiber seats, then build a 3.0 turbo it and get the retrofitted lsd tranny, i am kinda thinking about nitrous just for like a 25 or 50 shot just to help me out in corners, i want to make it half and half, half road, half drag, mind you this will take a couple of years, but i hape to get there if not there will be a stripped avenger for sale oh and the parts will be in the f/s section on this site, also will the eclipse full coilovers work on the avenegr i jsut want to make sure before i drop 1k dollars on a set and they not work.

Just make sure that you don't use Eclipse springs on an Avenger or Sebring. The suspension system is basically the same except the springs.

they are stiffer and they last longer so if you plan on road racing its a good idea and its also a good idea to get a thicker stabilizer bar (sway bar)

The Energy suspension kit is a direct fit. I am doing a PPT to illustrate the actual install process.  www.suspension.com

if you get the black color it has graphite mixed into the polyurethane and they don't squeak like the older ones.
