Ride Height Drop
Designed to provide one of the most aggressive fixed spring drops available for the 4G Eclipse.
| Position | Ride Height Drop |
|---|---|
| Front | 2.5 inches |
| Rear | 2.6 inches |
A substantial drop like this transforms the appearance of the Eclipse by virtually eliminating the large factory wheel gap while lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity for improved handling.
Note: Due to the aggressive ride height reduction, lowered vehicles should be inspected for wheel and tire clearance, especially when using aftermarket wheels with wider tires or lower offsets.
Spring Construction
AJP Distributors manufactures these lowering springs using premium materials designed to withstand years of daily driving and spirited performance use.
Construction features include:
- SAE 9254 chrome silicon high-tensile spring steel
- CNC cold-wound manufacturing process
- Heat-treated for increased durability
- Industrial-grade blue powder-coated finish
- Corrosion-resistant coating
- OEM-quality manufacturing standards
Chrome silicon spring steel is widely used in performance suspension applications because of its excellent resistance to fatigue and its ability to maintain spring height over time.
Improve Your Eclipse’s Handling
The factory 4G Eclipse suspension prioritizes ride comfort, leaving room for improvement in handling performance.
Installing these lowering springs helps deliver:
- Lower center of gravity
- Reduced body roll
- Improved steering response
- Better cornering stability
- Reduced brake dive
- Reduced rear-end squat during acceleration
- More predictable chassis balance
- Improved highway stability
- Aggressive street appearance
The result is a more responsive driving experience that better matches the Eclipse’s sporty styling.
Designed for OEM or Aftermarket Struts
These springs are engineered for use with:
- Factory OEM struts
- OEM replacement dampers
- Performance aftermarket struts
- Performance suspension upgrades
While factory struts can be retained if they remain in excellent condition, performance dampers are strongly recommended with a drop exceeding two inches to maximize ride quality and suspension control.
Durable Powder-Coated Finish
Each spring is protected by an industrial powder-coated blue finish that helps resist:
- Rust
- Corrosion
- Moisture
- Road salt
- Stone chips
- Everyday road debris
The protective coating helps preserve both appearance and long-term structural integrity.
Installation Information
Estimated Installation Time
2-4 hours
Professional installation is strongly recommended.
Following installation:
- Perform a professional four-wheel alignment.
- Inspect struts, top mounts, and suspension bushings.
- Verify adequate tire and fender clearance.
- Consider adjustable rear camber arms if excessive negative camber develops after lowering.
Because these springs lower the vehicle over two inches, proper alignment is critical for tire life and suspension performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit all 2006-2012 Eclipse models?
Yes. These lowering springs are designed for the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse, including most GS, GT, SE, and Spyder models.
Will factory struts work?
Yes. The springs are compatible with OEM struts, but due to the aggressive lowering height, performance dampers are recommended for improved ride quality and longevity.
Is a wheel alignment required?
Absolutely. A professional alignment should always be performed after changing suspension ride height.
Will I need camber arms?
Because these springs lower the vehicle by over two inches, some vehicles may develop additional negative camber. Adjustable camber arms may be recommended depending on your alignment results and wheel setup.
Will these improve handling?
Yes. Lowering the center of gravity reduces body roll, improves steering response, and creates a more planted feel during spirited driving.
