Figured some of you would like to see what it takes to install a set of the new Eibach lowering springs so I headed down to Power by the Hour Performance in Boynton Beach to follow the install. The rears are very easy to do. The fronts take a little more time and elbow grease to get done but aren't that bad.
REAR SPRINGS
Put the car on the lift and remove the rear wheels.
Support the lower control arm with a jack
Remove the bolt that secures the brake assembly to the lower control arm.
Once the bolt has been removed you can lower the jack.
We then used a pry par to help separate the control arm a little more giving us better access to remove the spring from it's perch.
Once the factory spring was removed we swapped the factory spring isolator over to the Eibach pro-kit spring.
Before installing the Eibach spring back into the perch we cleaned it out as it has small rocks and pebbles in it. After cleaning the perch out we installed the Eibach spring.
Once the Eibach spring was installed we used the jack to raise the control arm enough for us to re-install the lower control arm bolt.
Re-install the wheel and repeat the steps above for the other side.
