Ok, my blitz kit is still on the way, but i'm looking very closly at the front end of my car, and it already looks rather low with the stock front bumper, i need an inexpiensive way i could raise it up alittle bit, just like with some shocks or struts, nothing like electrical coils and stuff, I just really wanna get this kit on and i don't wanna mess up my kit because it being so low. The rear end suspension is fine like it is now, just need to work on the front, so any ideas or (inexpiensive ) suggestions would be great :biggrin: Thanks

Was your car previously lowered?
Body kits are made to fit on your car and not drag on the ground. Usually you wouldn't have to worry unless you live in an area with really crappy roads. Eclipses have a wishbone suspension in the front end and the back end, i am not sure but i think has an independant macpherson strut setup. I wouldn't recommend raising your car because then you will probably have alignment problems. When you raise or lower your car, there is a good chance you will have castor or camber problems(I forgot which one). There would be ways to raise it. I am not sure how but I just wanted to warn you of the problems you may have if you do raise it.
