Wondering if any one knows the if the galants use the same springs as a 1g awd talon?

The galant I have has lowering springs and it sits too low in the back and has a 2 inch gap in the front.

Its a galant gsx


2g awd, Back to dsms here I come.

Mmmm, interesting question.

Gimme the vehicle model # and I check it out. Might look like "E33A".

Unless Rob beats me to it!!!

Jay, if your rear sits too low you can use 2g rear pillow mounts to help correct it smile

Hope this helps.

P.s. galantvr4.org has TONS of info

Or you can fit some EVO 7/8 springs.

I second Chris, Galantvr4.org is the place to know about your galant.


I almost forgot what 2nd and reverse gear feels like.

Jay, on my 91 Galant AWD(non turbo) 5spd, the car sat that way from the factory. I hated it, it looked stupid and handled wierd.

I put in 1g AWD front springs. It sits a little wee bit lower in the front now. Its way better. Handles better, looks good and works well.

Cost was free, as used 1g springs are free or at least cheap.

Put in some camber bolts(front upper strut bolt hole) while you are in there, and align it with as much negative front camber as you can get. Probably -1.1 to -1.4 deg. Dial in about 0.8-1.1 negative in the rear too. Set toe SLIGHTLY in in the front and 0 in the rear. Seems to work really well. Car handles beautifully for what it is and doesnt wear tires wierdly.

I just put H & N 1g in the front with stock 1g rears.

It sits pretty level like that. I have a feeling if I put the rear lowering springs it might sit too low frown
