- Spring Rate: Front: 10 kg/mm (556 lbs/in) & Rear: 7 kg/mm (392 lbs/in), Spring pre-load setting: 7-10 mm.
- Adjustable Height: The height is adjustable for 1-4 inches, allowing you to have a more aggressive stance. This design helps eliminate turning noise and also improves steering feel and response. In addition, we have adopted a deep groove ball bearing structure to help eliminate cornering noise and also improve steering feel and response.
Upgrading to coilover shock absorbers is essential for improved handling, performance, and adaptability. Unlike standard shocks, coilovers offer precise adjustments in ride height, damping, and spring preload, optimizing vehicle dynamics for various conditions. They enhance stability, control body roll, pitch, and dive, and manage varying loads effectively. Coilovers are durable, resisting wear and corrosion, and provide customization for both daily driving and competitive racing. This upgrade ensures a more controlled, responsive, and enjoyable driving experience, making it a valuable investment for any driver seeking superior performance.

2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse 3G Coilovers, Shocks & Struts FAQ
Q1: Will these coilovers fit my 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
A1: These coilovers are designed for the 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse 3rd Gen with the D53A or D52A chassis listed on the product page. Confirm your model year, chassis, and existing suspension setup before ordering, especially if the vehicle has been modified or fitted with non-original suspension parts.
Q2: Do these coilovers fit a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
A2: Yes. The 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse is included in the listed 2000-2005 fitment range. If you are searching for 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse coilovers, this kit provides a complete front and rear suspension upgrade with adjustable lowering rather than only replacing one worn shock or strut.
Q3: Are these coilovers for a 3G or 4G Mitsubishi Eclipse?
A3: These coilovers are for the 3rd-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse produced from 2000 through 2005. They are not listed for the 4G Eclipse introduced for the 2006 model year, so buyers searching for 4G Eclipse coilovers will need a different application.
Q4: Will these coilovers fit an Eclipse GS, GT, GTS, or RS?
A4: The product page identifies compatibility by the 2000-2005 model years and D53A/D52A chassis codes rather than listing every trim separately. Check your chassis and suspension mounting points before purchase, and contact Flashark support if you are uncertain about your GS, GT, GTS, or RS application.
Q5: Are these Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks, struts, or complete coilovers?
A5: This is a complete coilover kit, not a single set of factory-style Mitsubishi Eclipse shocks or struts. It combines matched shock absorbers and springs with adjustable ride height, allowing you to replace the front and rear suspension together.
Q6: What is included in this Mitsubishi Eclipse coilover kit?
A6: The package includes 2 front coilovers, 2 rear coilovers, and 2 stainless steel adjustment wrenches. This gives you the main components needed to replace all four Mitsubishi Eclipse struts and shocks as a matched suspension system.
Q7: How much can these 3G Eclipse coilovers lower the car?
A7: The ride height is adjustable from approximately 1 inch to 4 inches lower than the original height. A mild 1-inch to 2-inch drop is generally easier to use on the street, while an aggressive drop requires more attention to ground clearance, wheel fitment, suspension travel, and alignment.
Q8: Are these coilovers suitable for daily driving?
A8: Yes, the product page describes them as suitable for daily driving, occasional autocross, and occasional track use. For a street-driven Eclipse, use a moderate ride height, maintain sufficient suspension travel, and avoid setting the car lower than local roads and driveways allow.
Q9: Will these coilovers ride harder than factory Eclipse shock absorbers?
A9: Yes, expect a firmer and more responsive ride than a factory-style suspension, especially compared with worn original shocks and struts. Ride comfort also depends on ride height, spring preload, tire sidewall, road condition, and the condition of the vehicle's bushings and suspension joints.
Q10: What spring rates do these Mitsubishi Eclipse coilovers use?
A10: The listed spring rates are 10 kg/mm, approximately 560 lbs/in, in the front and 7 kg/mm, approximately 392 lbs/in, in the rear. These firmer rates are intended to reduce body roll and improve suspension response compared with soft or worn factory components.
Q11: What type of shock design does this kit use?
A11: These coilovers use a twin-tube shock design. A twin-tube layout is commonly used for street-oriented suspension because it can provide usable shock travel and a more forgiving response over normal road surfaces than an extremely stiff competition-only setup.
Q12: Do these 3G Eclipse coilovers include camber plates?
A12: Yes. The front coilovers use pillow ball top mounts with camber plates, while the rear coilovers use standard rubber top mounts. The front camber plates provide additional alignment adjustment after lowering, but they do not replace the need for a professional wheel alignment.
Q13: Do I need an alignment after installing these Eclipse struts and coilovers?
A13: Yes. A professional four-wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installation and after any major ride-height adjustment. Lowering the car changes suspension geometry and can affect camber, toe, steering response, straight-line stability, and tire wear.
Q14: Will lowering my Mitsubishi Eclipse cause tire rubbing?
A14: Tire rubbing depends on the selected ride height, wheel width, wheel offset, tire size, alignment, and fender clearance. An aggressively lowered Eclipse or a car with wider aftermarket wheels may require additional alignment work, a higher ride height, different tires, or fender clearance modifications.
Q15: Can I install these Mitsubishi Eclipse coilovers myself?
A15: An experienced DIY installer with suitable lifting equipment and suspension tools may complete the installation, but no instructions are included and professional installation is recommended. The listed spring preload range is 7-10 mm, and incorrect preload, ride height, or bolt torque can cause noise, poor handling, uneven tire wear, or premature suspension wear.
