i just got done with the front, it wasnt any easier, and to top it off, the stupid allignment plate thing that holds the strut assemble in the car,,, 2 turns on it with a 13mm wrench and the tack weld breaks off, so now i have my drivers side strut mounted with 2 bolts instead of 3. im done with ibach, i wanted to try something different and screwed myself. should of stuck with H & R, never went through any crap like this. ill go get a pic of it.
Wow sorry to hear about all the trouble the springs put you through, I've never heard of anyone having such a complaint with an Eibach product, that sucks man.
That looks real nice, I am sorry to hear about the problems you have had. But I have to disagree that it can't be with the Eibach springs, I have installed over 20 sets in the past few years and they are really a nice product, it sounds more like the spring compressors. It makes it impossible to do the jub easy with bad compressors. I just did a friends 05 yellow ZX3 and it took me 1.2 hours to do the whole thing. Once again sorry to hear about all the problems, but the good part is you are done with it and now you will be able to enjoy the ride quality of the Sportines.....
BTW, I hope you have gotten it aligned or are planning to do it real soon.....

damm, no edit button. i re read my post knocking eibach. it wasnt the springs fault, they were a p.i.t.a. to get in but worth the trouble, it was one of the 3 bolts in the motor bay that hold the strut assembly to the car, the top part of the camber kit. i talked to ibach and they were surprised at that happening, so in one week i have to remove the plate and send it back and get a new one, then a realignment. kinda sucks but im happy with the way it looks and drives now after the allignment. i have pics of it that i took this morning in the day time !! ill post them up when i get home. so sorry if i offended anyone and their ibach products but please understand how i felt at the moment. later !!!!
i did manage to get it tight but the nut kept on a spinnin, so i took another lock nut and tried to put it on top of the previous one and the threads just fell off the stud. it should hold for a few weeks till eibach takes care of it. heres some day pics at least and i just got done washing it up so hopefully tomarrow i can get some more shots of it.
