Default Spring Kit...

I just got a spring kit from Eibach. Just a question since I've never messed with this stuff before, but what's the easiest way to install springs?

All is well, however, I can't get the springs into the rear end now. I'm working on it though...I'll come up with something, I'm sure...About my post about being a failure, I was just tired and stuff...

The rear should be easier than the fronts. I prefer to drop both sides at the same time and support the axle on a pair of jackstands. They should slide right in.
