i just got my eibachs in the mail two days ago. when i get them installed is anything supposed to be cut off of them for them to be installed right? i have seen people post saying they have cut off the first coil on the spring. is that necessary to do prior to installation?

It's a matter of preference. Eibach gives you an uneven drop. The front sits higher than the rear. I am going to cut mine 1/2 a coil to see if it evens out.

Mine was even. The H&R springs that I have now is another case. In the H&Rs, the front does sit higher than the rear. Not on the Eibachs though.

Dont cut the eibachs. Not a good idea. You buy those for their handling and stiffness not for the ride height to begin with. If you cut then them the spring compression ratio will be all messed up and then you might as well have bought a different brand that arent as stiff, dont handle as well, and are lower.
