spring install -any snags that I should know about?
Im going to install my Eibach ProKit this weekend. Is there anything out of the ordinary I should know before doing this?
Thanks guys! I may take pics for a FAQ if I can find a cheapie digi cam. My 20D will not get close to grease

Ok cool. Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly do you mean by pre load.
Thanks!
Thanks!

He's as bad as Can
Pre-load the springs with weight on them.
Lower the car BEFORE you tighten the control arm bolts.

That was a lot easier than I had expected! I love the (mild) drop and it rides as comfortable as stock. In a week I will have it aligned, and be done with it. Pics after the MS bumper and Legamax are installed ;-)
