Ok, i'm FINALLY gonna put my Eibach springs on my car and i want to do it myself. What's the easiest, not the safest way to do this. I don't want to have to get a compressor and i know there are ways to do it without one, i think. PLease help me or post the way to a how to

 

You need a spring compresser. Go to autozone, o'rileys etc... They should let you borrow a set with a deposit that you get back when you return them. You can't do it, without killing someone, withoug spring compressers.

 

i don't care if i die.

 

check the 5th gen do it yourself stickies.
They got some great info in there

 

so it's the same for the 4th gen, ok. i might have to go and get a compressor. Friday sounds good for me, i have the whole day off and will need it. Now i just need a pipe that i can use as a breaker bar. what's the torque on the bolts. the outer ring on the front is like 38, but what about the big middle ones and rear and stuff.

 

You do not need a compressor for the rear springs but you definatly need one for the front springs. BTW Auto Zone rents spring compressors, it's free you just need to leave a deposit. Does this meen you keeping your max now?

 

One of the guys from our site said he used a rope to tie the springs.

 

Ok, i'll rent the compressor. And yes i'm gonna keep the max and NOS it. What are the torque settings i'm gonna have to know?

 

did you change the camber plates and bolts since its a 2 inch drop?

 

The TQ #'s are as follows, the Strut tower bolts should be TQ'ed to 39-54 lb's and the big bolts that go through the shocks should be Tq'ed to 157-167 lb's. These are the #'s I got out om my Chiltons manual. BTW make sure you are equipped with air tools or a large{5 ft is good} breaker bar. If you don't know what a breaker bar is, it is any metal pole that is hallow, just stick your wrench on the nut or bolt that needs to be removed/tightened and then stick the pole over the wrench and do your thing. BTW be extra carefull you do not strip any bolts{huge headache!}, so make a effort to have your wrench on the bolt/nut firmly before applying force. Also when you use a spring compressor make sure you tighten the compressor evenly so do a little on one side and then do a little on the other side "evenly". I figured I would throw in these warnings/advice becuase of your lack of experience in this field. Well good luck and if any questions arise feel free to ask me.

 

Ok thanks, so they are the same for the torque is the same for the front and back, sounds good. One more question, if i die will you go to my funeral?

 

I didn't get camber bolts or plates for my sprints. I have a small amount of neg camber, but that is OK with me.
