Scared...eibach kit
Scared...eibach kit
O.K. I got my eibach kit in from Autobahn in Wichita today and am planning on throwing them on early tomorrow. Gotta admit while I am very mechanically inclined I am a little nervous as to the outcome. I heard the fronts are a pain and I need to trim the bumps. Any last minute advice and/or tips? I will post pics but I'm sure it will look just like "alabaster white".

Re: Scared...eibach kit
NO coil compressor needed I would say this is one of the easiest installs when it comes to springs I have ever done (mind you I used to work with jeep lift kits) it takes some man handling for the fronts and a good pry bar or pickle fork to get the original out but the new springs go in easy as can be. DO not undo everything, I left the caliper still all connected, as well as the shock just undo the A arms if you are mechanically inclined I wouldn't worry about this job at all. I did it in the driveway with one jack stand, a jack, ratchet, pickle fork, and pry bar and took about 2 hours total. Rears take about 15 min a piece front is about 30 min give or take a piece. Some of the threads got cleaned out but I remember posting about this earlier

Re: Scared...eibach kit
is used the DIY links that basslover gave you. the install was very simple the only problem i ran into was the fronts. the lower control arm gets a little stuck when lowering it down you need a prybar or somthing to pull it down. Youll save alot of time if you have 2 people. took about an 1.5hr for the front and 30mins for the back.
Re: Scared...eibach kit
Thanks everyone for the tips, i got it done in a couple hours with no problems...other than losing the little c-clip on the shocks and having to look for it for an hour. Everything went smooth and it looks awesome. I have NO popping or rubbing even under EXTREME turns at 60 MPH. I did notice one problem though. My steering damper is leaking. The dealer wants 150, does anyone have an alternative?
