Thanks for looking. I'm planning an engine swap to a 3s-gte but I came across an article about the new eclipse. In the article, they were talking about how it has too much horsepower and still being FWD making the car understeer alot. This made me wonder about my celi if I ended up doing this swap and end up with around 250hp, would she end up understeering? Should I be looking into camber kits or something to counter this if its too bad or something. As my car is at this point, all the suspension is still stock.

Fat rear sway bar. No need to replace the front. If you can find a smaller front sway bar use that. Instead of using the usual Stechs that most people in this site has. Go for a higher spring rate. A properly set Ground Control [ Not off the shelf] and Koni yellow will diminish most of your understeer issue due to its correction.
Get some Stiffer springs in the rear [Custom order from Ground Control] Camber bolts should be plenty when adding camber. I suggest 1.5 Front 1 Rear. No need to change your toe. |
