atleast the rear is the easy one to do

I don't think so. front sawy bar is not necessary to change on the GK. I causes over steer. We are also doing rear control arms.

Ive had a few problems, but they havent really caused much for headaches.

Ive always had an oil leak on my tib -- at the drain plug and at the filter. This is occurring whether i change it or dealer does -- and they dont seem intent on fixing it, probably because from oil change-to-oil change, im only down like... half a quart, if that. So its not a huge problem.

Other'n that, I have a 4-speed auto, but i love the Shiftronic (or whatever they call it). Because of that, i had problems with 3rd gear for like 6 months where when it would go into 3rd, it would hit. When i say hit, i mean it rattled the whole car. It wasnt a huge concern till my engine hit 8000 RPM on the highway one day.

I brought it into the dealer, and they said it "Came out of calibration", and they said it was due to the chip that controls it... they loaded up the '06 version of the system, and its fine now... and it has a hair more torque.


All-in-all, Ive seen the eclipse's, and if youve seen the Bugatti Veyron, the backend looks kinda the same. What im annoyed by on the eclipse is:
1) the sheer mass/size of it
2) single exhaust
3) The way the windows are split. On the tibs, you have the lil window in back, and on the eclipse... its got 3 sections, and it looks ugly as hell. If you test drive one, youll see what i mean.
