For 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse (4G)
for 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant (DJ)
Q1: What vehicles are compatible with these Flashark coilover shock absorbers?
A1: These coilover shock absorbers and struts are engineered for a precise, bolt-on fitment for the 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse (4G chassis) and the 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant (DJ chassis).
Q2: How much can I lower my 4G Mitsubishi Eclipse or Galant with this kit?
A2: You can achieve a highly aggressive stance with an adjustable lowering range of 2 inches to 4 inches below the factory OEM ride height. This drastically lowers your vehicle's center of gravity for improved handling and a better aerodynamic profile.
Q3: What are the spring rates for these 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse coilovers?
A3: To provide an optimal balance of spirited handling and driving comfort, this kit features custom-tuned spring rates of 8 kg/mm (448 lbs/in) for the front struts and 6 kg/mm (336 lbs/in) for the rear struts.
Q4: Will adjusting the ride height affect my damper stroke and ride quality?
A4: No. A key engineering feature of these Flashark coilovers is that the ride height is adjusted independently via the threaded lower shock mount. This separate height adjustment ensures that the damper stroke remains completely unaffected, preserving your ride quality even at the lowest height settings.
Q5: Are these coilovers suitable for daily street driving?
A5: Absolutely. They utilize a premium twin-tube shock structure that allows for sufficient internal stroke to effectively absorb road imperfections. This design delivers a smooth, forgiving, and quiet ride perfect for daily city commuting at any speed.
Q6: What materials are used to manufacture these suspension components?
A6: To minimize unsprung weight without sacrificing structural integrity, the critical components—including the mounts, locking collars, and spring perches—are CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum. The main shock bodies are constructed from high-strength steel with an anti-rust surface treatment.
Q7: Do I need to buy special tools to adjust the ride height?
A7: No additional purchases are required. Every 4-piece coilover kit comes complete with the necessary stainless steel spanner wrenches, allowing you to easily unlock the collars and dial in your preferred ride height.
Q8: What is the exact recommended spring preload for installation?
A8: For optimal shock performance and to prevent unwanted suspension clunking noises, we highly recommend setting the spring preload between 7-10 mm during the initial installation process before installing the units onto the vehicle.
Q9: Are the shock absorbers in this kit fully rebuildable?
A9: Yes, the twin-tube shock absorbers utilized in this system are fully rebuildable. This feature extends the long-term lifespan of your suspension upgrade, making it a highly cost-effective and sustainable investment for your Eclipse or Galant.
Q10: How durable are the springs included in this lowering kit?
A10: The high-tensile performance springs are exceptionally durable. They have been rigorously stress-tested over 600,000 times, resulting in a microscopic spring distortion rate of less than 0.04%. Additionally, a special surface treatment is applied to resist corrosion and metal fatigue.
Q11: Will installing these coilovers help reduce body roll on my Mitsubishi Galant?
A11: Yes. By upgrading from soft, aging factory struts to these stiffer, performance-oriented coilovers, you will experience a dramatic reduction in body roll during cornering, significantly less nose-dive under hard braking, and improved overall steering response.
Q12: Do these coilovers come with pillow ball mounts or rubber top mounts?
A12: This specific kit is engineered with high-quality rubber top mounts. Unlike rigid metal pillow ball mounts that can transmit excessive road noise and vibration into the cabin, rubber joints excel at absorbing hard road impacts and drastically reducing NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) for a much more comfortable street ride.
