Eibach Sway and Springs
Today was install day in front of my house.. got to say even though it was my first time doing springs and sways it went fairly smooth. Eibach kits were top notch, though they really lack an install guide, I just kind of winged it. The springs were very easy putting in, more of a PIA getting the old ones out, rented a spring compressor from autozone to do the job. As I did the springs I also installed the sway bars. Thank god I have air tools and a bunch of jacks laying around, I would of been beating my head into the ground if I would of had to use standard ratchets. I put my front sway bar on the middle setting out of the three holes. I heard the competition setting is kinda harsh.
First impressions, the car looks sexy as hell, I was like damnnnn haha. Took it out on to the main road got on the freeway ramp going north and then took the other ramp back on to the turnpike pushing around 60mph on a tight bank, car feels glued to the road. It is scary what an improvement these mods have made over stock.
Really didn't take to many pictures since my hands were covered in grease and dirt for 5 hours. Also I have to get an alignment, I have a little negative camber in the front.
Anyways heres a few pics, I def gotta do a new photo shoot with the DSLR, of the new lowered stance, and all these sexy mods lately haha.
Just showing the mess I made at the end of the driveway, installation was almost done at this point.
Heres a Before Shot, that was taken last month.
Heres an after shot from my phone that does no justice...

Yeah that looks like fun working in the street, my most interesting install was when I put all my steeda parts in during a snow storm with a temp of 25F in my friends driveway. Yours looks good thinking about it to upgrade my sways to get a more competition feel.

FYI, I have a thread in the handling section with peoples suggestions, ideas and recommendations regarding the camber.
