eibach install

[russde]

Started my install finally...realized that even though I thought I had, I never ordered new strut mounts, so I did that last night and they will be here Tuesday.
Installed the rear today, pretty straight forward... duct tape is your friend, tape the nuts for the spring mounts to your 19 mm wrench or you will go mad chasing them as they fall.
Before and after attached even though I forgot to use a tape measure stock rear shocks both leaking, 74k miles.

Why did you need new strut mounts? Isnt that only needed if your s*** is rusted to hell or in bad condition?

Looking good. I got a quick question for you, now that your rears are on, can you measure the center of hub to fender and post the dimension. You going for 2" front or 2.8" front setting? my kit should be here soon and looking to get the setting figured out prior to install.

Two reasons: 1. It's rubber, it degrades 2. It kept me from disassembling the old struts

I'll measure this afternoon.
I used the lowest setting on the front which I installed yesterday...pics to follow

Done, love the ride, love the look. Front was super easy, did the no compressor install. A little logistics, but so much better than the traditional way.

that looks great! the front shock setting is the 2" and not the 2.8" correct? How does it ride?

Yes, 2", bottom clip, seems very level, maybe a tad of rear to front tilt which is perfect
Ride is awesome. Electronic damping never worked so I can't comment on comparison to 'firm' setting. Only 75k miles on original shocks...rears were definitely toast, I didn't disassemble the fronts to check, but from the difference in ride, they were probably done too.
Well worth $675 I paid!
