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.

I can understand having a bit of difference between the GE and GTE but I'll be going from the 7Afe to 3S-gte so I'll be adding quite a bit of weight. Which reminds me, with all this added weight, should I be looking for front springs that are a bit stiffer to stand up to the added weight?

you would not want to get just front springs. most aftermarket springs are stiffer, that and sold in sets of 4 laugh.gif

but regardless, you wouldn't want to increase the front spring rate without correctly raising the rear spring rate as well. just remember stiff front = understeer
