im looking into suspension as well, and with the eibachs they claim that you dont need
to change out any other parts if you install them, it probably would be best, but its not
necessary. i have a question as to where you would get these installed? i dont have the
right equipment to do it myself, unless its easy?

DISAGREE. I have installed 3 pairs of springs on 3 different cares by myself, 1 went easy, the other 2, took all day. Id rather bring the car and eibachs to my local garage, say " here, put these on " and be done with it. Have a pro do it trust me, if something goes wrong, its on them, not you.
I'll agree with you on that point

If you have a decent spring compressor, and a cordless/electric impact, this is cake. If not, then yeah, this is gonna be hard.
For spring compressors, obviously the wall mounted ones are best, but barring that, go grab the one from Sears. It's a good design, the same as Snapon actually. Don't use the horseshit that Harbor Freight sells. That one is scary.

yeah, i dont have anything to assist in installing them, so ill have to have someone else do it.
where should i do that by the way? any mechanic, or somewhere special
another thing, im looking into sportlines or some ARK performance springs,
does it really matter which one i get? the arks are going to be more expensive
due to shipping, but is it worth it?
