Yep. I think a lift is over-do for such an easy job, but yes you will need a hydrolic jack that is tall enough to get to the control arm.

but with a lift and four guys I can get all the wheels off in no time flat... then maybe lower it back down to stock height, and use the jack?

Default UPDATE

Your call, but i used a tire iron and got the wheels of super fast. Make sure you don't strip the threads on the lugnuts or the wheel hub.

I also left out a very important point.

When you are laying in the new springs look at the lower control arm and you should see a notch. This notch is where the spring needs to sit. So rotate the spring till the pigtail is sitting pritty much next to the notch.

Next lower the car to the ground for the springs to settle.

Lift back to jack stands and tighten down the bolts.

Eibach told me that a big issue of springs not settling is because the pigtails are not up against these notches.

So pay attention kids
