Eibach install with 20's pics
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here are some pics of install eibachs pro line 1 inch drop, with 20 inch axis mods. If you do the install yourself, dont buy the springs compressor, just wrap the complete strut and spring , wrap it tight in a old blanket( not a new one your wife will kill you) wrap the top of the pearch as well just enough so you can get a deep socket 17mm on there, dont forget to break the bolt loose with a closed end first and a crescent wrench to hold the threads hope I didnt lose you. You will have enough muscle to get the the new spring on and the nut on TRUST ME YOUR WAISTING YOUR MONEY ON COMPRESSOR SPRINGS IVE DONE 12 CARS i KNOW. Here are some pics the rear has about 100+lbs in amps sub and mdf so it might be just a tad higher if you dont have a custom stereo system in the back . here are some pics' Thanks Ernie

BEFORE THE DROP

Chicken Mar 25, 2004 05:23 PM

Hmmmm, I like it before the drop better, which tells me I should probably get the Tein S Flex springs (I have been going up and back between getting the Eibach and the Tein springs), despite some advice which I should probably listen to. I just have stock 17" wheels, nothing fancy. It looks nice on your car, just not my personal taste.

dang, I tried to put springs on the front last night and could NOT get that top bolt to break loose, had to put the whole dang thing back together and think of a way to do it. I guess I could rent the compressor?

Chicken, if you just want a slight lower, the S-tech or the hotchkiss would be good options

i cound that the best way (contrary to other cars) is to break the top bolt loose while it is installed. in other words, while everything is bolted up into the car, and rhe weight of the car is on the ground, put a socket on the bolt in the middle and break it loose. after this, tighten it back down, but not all the way...you will need it as compressed as possible to get it out from under the wheelwell.

Good luck!!
