Got my Eibachs today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fed ex man just got a nice hand shake from me cause my springs are here. I should be putting them on this weekend with my new tires so i can do a 4 wheel alignment and check the camber and $hit. Anything i should expect? I still have stock shocks and all i have is a FSTB. Thanks for the help.

I got my H&R 2 weeks ago. Been lovin them ever since. I got a wheel alignment right after I got the springs installed. Other than that, that should be all. Oh yeah, I kept my stock shocks as well..

Kool! I have Eibach 2 with the stock shocks and the ride is great, all you need now is a rear sway bar and you'll be handling like a race car!

The spring install should not take more than 3hrs. I did it myself with a help of a friend that took 3hrs. But we kinda fast.

All you need is a Spring compressor (STRUT ones), 1/2" breaker bar, 19mm deep socket, 14mm socket, 17mm socket. swivel-head for a 3/8" ratchet.

You should have it done in no time.

If the shop does suspension work, yes. You can always rent them from an autoparts store. Lastly, you need them, no install without em.

You should consider upgrading your shocks understanding that with the eibachs your stock shocks will wear out.So you might as well install springs/shocks at the same time.

I was thinking about it, but that's a whole lot more money. I am going to get them when the stock ones wear out.
