So my parents have a 96 Chrysler Sebring and they complained it was too low, well I found out it have an Eibach pro kit lowering springs. Since then I have replaced them with stock springs, But my question is would the Eibach springs fit my 97 RS? I mean i known the two are virtually the same cars.

Drives: 1996 Talon AWD. Built, but no longer drives: 1997 mitsubishi eclipse RS; 1990 Talon AWD; 1995 Talon AWD, 1997 Talon AWD. Seems like a pattern
it's very possible. compare the vehicle weights front and rear and the suspension. The sebring might have used a different strut configuration

Well I know that avengers have the same setup as our cars and the sebring is based on the same platform as the avenger so more then likely they will work.

I just checked the Eibach site, and the part numbers are different, as well as the lowering height. The kit for the Eclipse lowers the vehicle 1.2", and the Sbering 1.4".
I am not sure but, all things being equal, it seems like they are defiantly different. You could try it, and hey, maybe get lucky.
Honestly, I am a bit of stickler for parts like that, and if the part isn't made for that specific application, I don't use it.

Would work, but will prob. handle funny. I know with the RS and Z28 Camaros the parts look identical, but the strut supressor and spring rates are different. This sounds like the same situation. I wouldn't use em'.
