Spring install.

I received my strut mounts and tokico blues, and Im using my eibach springs that Ive had for a while.

I jacked the car up, and took a quick glance, but I could see much since the fender liner was in the way.

Which springs are the front, and which are the rear?



(image wont post for some reason.)

Also, from eibachs website, to install the springs the correct way, I should be able to read the stamped "eibach". This puts the small diameter portion of the progressive springs at the bottom of the strut, which seems very odd to me.

Can anybody confirm this?


*the picture is Tenzen's from his for sale post. If you want springs, you should buy his.

Just remove the strut assemblies first, then match up the springs.

It will be self-evident.

The two in the middle are for the front, and the two on either side are for the rear. Bear in mind that some springs have a specific side they have to be on (left or right), so try and look for any markings on the springs that indicate they're for a certain side. After installation, if the car looks higher on one side than the other, chances are that the springs have been installed on the wrong sides (left on right and right on left) - In which case you have to swap them over.
