Default Eibach Sportlines Installed and pics

Installing them was a severe pain in the @ss, it took me like 5hrs when back in my honda days i could have changed shocks and springs all the way around in like 2hrs. Rides a little on the soft side in the back so im gonna upgrade to some better shocks. other than that im pleased.

How low did you drop it? That looks real low to me, esp. in the front.

the Eibach Sportlines claim a 1.75 front and 1.50 rear drop, looks more like a 2incher to me.

it could be if he didnt use the isolators

also it doesnt take that long to drop a stang.

why do you need a spring compressor on a mustang?


all you need is a jack and jack stand......lift car high enough put jack stand under it. put jack under A arm. jack it up some, remove sway bar and strut, lower the a arm then slowly remove the jack, press down on the A arm and pry the spring out some to it unsettles. use a chain or rachet strap to keep it from flying. once its unsettled pull it out and install new one. put jack under A arm and jack it up. put strut on and sway bar. your done

rear is faster, remove sway bar, remove bolt from control arm, lower it down with a jack slowly and then remove the jack and then pull out the spring. install spring slowly jack it up aligh the pig tails put bolt back in then attach sway bar...your done

so where do you need a compressor to take out spring? you dont need one for aftermarket springs that offer any kind of a drop when trying to reinstall

I just put a set of eibachs under my 94 gt and it only dropped it 1.5" Does anyone know of a good way to drop it more without
killing the ride?
