I wish my middle name was "loudcut," that would be sweet.

No I will not be installing them myself. A friend will be installing them for me.

Are the springs a part of the struts on our vehicles?

gotta take out the whole strut and knuckle

pop the ball joint and tie rod's out

brake lines off ( gonna need to re-bleed the fronts)

remove the 3 nunts on the strut tower plate

thats just the beginning

you need coil spring compressors to take the tension off the spring so you can take them apart and put the Eibach's on

like i said its tricky   :neutral:

So are the front springs harder to install then they rear coilovers. I am also assuming that if you buy the FFP CO's and KYB package they come pre-assembled.
