Eibach Spring install tips anyone?

Post by YoYo »

Just about to start swapping out my springs (I have the week off, yeah!). I'm using this Tien guide here as a guide:http://www.deepstaged.net/toymattein.htmDoes anyone know if you are supposed to cut the stops for the Eibachs? (Or any other Eibach specific tips?)

So far so good, got everything off and dropped it at the Firestone for the spring swaps. Removing everything took about 2 leasurely paced hours. Gonna put my progress rear sway on and paint my capilers while I wait.
