installed my Eibach's tonite....
and I LOVE them! For $179 you just can't beat them.
I installed myself with no difficulty. Fronts took about 30 minutes a side and rears too about 15 minutes a side. good solid feel for normal to moderate street driving. Sterring seems a bit more responsive too. With my 19's the drop brought the fender to about .5" above the tire. Getting an alignment done on Monday... I'm curious to see how much the camber cams will adjust the negative camber from the rear. Any word on a set of adjustable upper control arms ??? |
That is great I am interested in your alaignment results but I would wait a couple of weeks to make sure the springs have time to settle.
What is the diamter of your wheel/tire combo, I went bigger than stock and I am worried about rubbing if I lower. |
currently my diameter is about .4" smaller than stock.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't rub..... there appears to be a good deal of clearance, even with slightly larger tires. |
Got any pics?
|
no pics yet... I'm in between cameras now. Just sold my Nikon 995 on Tues. but am expecting my new Nikon 4500 on Monday.
Will post pics as soon as I get them |
That seems fast for a spring install. Did you have a lift and power tools? I will be doing mine in a week or so. Any helpful advice would be good.
|
no lift, but I do have air tools.... 3/8" drive air rachet and impact wrench.
The key is to pull the upper arm balljoint nut and separate the upper arm from the spindle and to also pull the swaybar bolt to allow the lower arm to fully swing down. I didn't even have to use a spring compressor but it may have been a bit easier if I had compressed the stock springs as it is a bit tight to get it out if you don't. The lower strut bolt is TIGHT but if you use a 1/2" breaker bar it'll come loose. The rears are just stupid simple.... just pull the pin that holds the lower arm to the spindle... be carefull though and support the lower arm with a jack or else the spring compression force will slam the lower arm down when the pin is pulled. It's easier than most think.. all you need is a rachet, breaker bar, 12mm, 14mm, & 17MM sockets and wrenches.... as well as a couple jack stands. |
