Just Did the Eibach's

I just did the Eibachs today, I have to say out of all the springs on all the different cars I have owned these are the best. I honestly think the ride quality is a little better than it was stock. Here are a few pics after the install.

Kool, Did you do it yourself? How long did it take you? Did you have help?, and did you use spring compressors to do the job? I have mine in the box just waiting for the schedule to clear...i hate work...

Car looks great. Did you replace the shocks when you did the springs? If so which did you use?

Either Eibachs or HID's will be my next mod.

Yes, I did do it myself. It took about an hour and a half. I did use a spring compressor and air tools. This is an easy job. Springs are always kind of sketchy, if you haven't done this yourself then I would reccommend getting someone who has done this before to help you. If a compressed spring slips loose you could be in big trouble.

I did replace the front shocks when I did the springs. My car is a sport so I just used a set of ford oem shocks for the sport.

No thats total. Like I said this isnt the first time I have done this. Air tools help speed this process up quite a bit.

Power tools and knowing what you are doing makes things much easier. When I replaced the springs/struts on my previous vehicle, it took about 1.5 hrs never doing it before. The lowering springs were short enough that I did not have to compress them other than by hand to get them on the new struts, so that helped.

i will budget 4 hours, and that'll give me some time for a couple cold ones...
