Eibach springs installed (pics)

I was going the OME route, but through work I scored these and they worked well. I have enough pics for a write up so if ya'll would like I can do that. Here are before and after shots. The rear sits quite high now, I'll prob hit the front torsion bars a lil to level it out a bit. Before height was 34" at the top of the wheel arch, after was 36.75"

Thanks

Thanks for the compliment. I will do a write up tomorrow while at work, its slow round here so I can throw it together. The springs retail online for roughly $150 which seems to be the going rate for any of the springs out there. I paid $120 with tax out the door, I wish I could offer them to everyone here but once shipping kicked in I'm sure its not that great a deal anymore. In terms of mechanical experience it helped a lot that I have done suspension kits on numerous mustangs and had access to a lift. It took me roughly an hour, and went very well. In the driveway I'd guess between 1-3 hours.

I'm using the same springs. Been installed and wheeled hard for almost a year now, and there's not much sag. I like that the rear is SLIGHTLY higher than the front.

Looks great. Getting rid of sag is always a good thing.
