Some install notes:
Need a decent breaker bar or cheat pipe to bust these puppies loose.

Support to keep axle from pulling out of tranny

Nice looking, silly question about removal of old springs. Do you use the spring compressor while the strut is still on the vehicle, or do you slip the strut out first then use the spring compressor to take off the springs? I am getting coilovers soon, and picked up the spring compressor tool to get prepared to do the install. On my old car that had struts you had to compress the springs just to get the struts off the car. And for that we used a different style spring compressor.
Thanks for the compliments all. I am really satisfied with the results, ride is almost stock and it looks great. Really changed the feel and attitude of the car. Even the wife is liking it. We were thinking about a graphic of some sort and the drop has changed what we were thinking.
ohh ok, i've been reading mixed responses on just changing out the springs.
some say its fine, some say the shocks wear out faster. it always has me rethinking doing springs even though my xb is like a 4x4

I just installed the Eibach Sportlines this weekend. I must say that these are not like stock like others have said. I feel ever bump in the road. The ride is not terrible but there is definetely a difference from stock. Will the ride smooth out? I am wondering if I should of went with the Tenabe NF210 instead.
I see a lot of people on here say that their ride is like stock with the Sportlines. Mine is more rough and the main thing I notice is they are bouncy. Any suggestions on why? Does anyone think I would even notice any difference if I switched to NF210's?
