Wonder if the OP is even reading this, or its just a waste of breath. Not a single response since the original posting.

Thread has great advice non-the-less.

Welcome to the Gen 3 club.

Show us some pics.

Did you use the cheap FOX body shortys Paul? Or did you get a universal type deal?

 

[SHOZ123]

FPS put these on. They are just twin ~ 1" steel tube welded together per side.

How much handling stiffness did you feel change when you put those on?

Oh. Even cheaper yet. I like the way you think my man.

Are they noticable with the stock side skirts on or have you always had those splitters(or whatever you want to call them) on?

It is more noticable than the front strut bar if that is any form of qualification. Many people say that the G3 dos not need these because they are stiffer from the factory. But.....

You should be aware that making the car very stiff with FSTB, SFC, 24/26 sway bars and Koni struts will make the car corner wickedly flat and ride like a Costenoga Wagon.

I hope that's a picture you just took and you have it sitting on your kitchen table. You would be my hero Paul.

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been back on here, I've been so busy the last few weeks. Thanks to everyone for their advice. I'll tell you what though these SHOs are a blast to drive. I'm so glad I dumped the Eclipse.


To answer some of your questions:

1. Yes the cams are welded. I made sure of that but forgot to mention it.
2. I live in a tiny little place in southern MN called Caledonia. (Somewhere between Rochester, MN; and LaCrosse, WI)


I'll try and come back more often from now on.
