Lowering Spings Installation

[Narbee]

Just wondering if anyone had any information on installing Eibach Coil Springs. I just bought a full set and I would like to know the steps in completing the installation. You know...the do's and dont's.

By coil springs do you mean coilovers or just the standard Eibach springs that don't require strut modification?

get a spring compressor from kragen or your local auto parts store (they rent them out with a deposit of around 50 bucks) to remove your stock springs. if you have ANY mechanical aptitude then you'll be able to figure out how to remove front struts to install new lowering springs, rear is even more self explanatory.

good luck. take a look under the car first and post up if you have any questions about it.

Ahh.... good question? The Box says "pro-kit". Not really sure if it will require strut modification.

Quick questions,
how's the feel of the ride?
and how much for said set up?.(Eibach/PRO-KIT)

Do you bottom out at all?,
the rear and the front, how many inches from wheel to fender gappin?






TIA

swapping from stock springs is a PITA, also it would be a good idea to put some bump stops for the front. I removed the whole strut assembly first time putting lowering springs on my car, just makes life easier. Try finding a balljoint puller also, lots easier than trying to hammer away at the threads/nuts

the springs are very soft. I have bilstein sports with them. I take my car out on the track and autocross it once in a blue moon, and it handles well enough for me to have a good time with the car. I have 16' wheels and 50 side walls. so there is hardly any gap between tire and fender. you can kinda see in my sig

How about some better pics of that car MG?

EDIT: Do you still have the trunk tar in that car?

Got a members rides thread?

I have the same wheels going on a '91 coupe I am rebuilding. I also have a set of Eibachs coming, and have a set of Billly HDs for it.
