Eibach springs.

When installing, do the letters on the springs suppose to point upward? (I got the answer)
Please answer the question below:
Also will I need to compress them (front and/or back) for the install? The reason I am asking is b/c when I did my friend H&R we did not. Thanks.

It depends on if you want to mucle them. I just muscle the rears, its easy. sometimes the fronts need the compressors. Its been so long since I installed the Eibachs, but when they were new I used the compressor.

If you're switching from stock springs, you'll have to compress those for sure before removing them. As to the Eibach's, you won't need to compress them, just press down on the strut mount with a bit of your body weight before attaching the top bolt.

I had to compress the Eibachs a little... they are very stiff so it's hard to squeeze them even an inch or two. but then again I'm not that strong... so whatever
i don't see why you shouldn't use a compressor
