My Eibach springs should be in tomorrow and are slated to go on the car sometime tomorrow evening after work. I work in the automotive business so having this done is easy as pie but told the tech i would help out just to lend a hand. anyhow..............any tips/tricks that may help it go a little easier or faster? Just that little stuff that veterns have learned??

Thanks in advance...Bill

oh any used wheel spacers out there???? PM me

 

I got a tip. Loosen the nut on the top hat (part that holds the spring in) of the front struts before you take them off. It's on there pretty tight, you'll have a hard time unscrewing that w/o some good leverage. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward. Good luck!

Here is another tip... Do the rears first so you can get some sense of accomplishmet... The fronts are a PITA!!! Good luck with the install...

 

is actually pretty easy. I did mine in 1 1/2 hour. Just do the front first because they are the most time consuming. I didn't use spring compressors. Make sure you have extra cotter pins in case you brake the one that are in the upper a-arm. Having a lift is a huge +. Having the top hat nut loose while you remove the shock is a good idea but also when you install them so you can line up the bolts easier. don't sweat it is easy, I didn't even get any bloody knuckles.

 

Where do you buy cotter pins? I did a google search and came back with random crap. Thanks,

Dan
