eibach pro-kit install

me and my friend are gonna be installing some eibach pro-kit springs all around my 05 lx when they come in and id feel safer having someone thats done it before giving me some pointers or directions on how to install them, and im not paying for the local shop to put em in, thatd cost as much as them with my luck.....

i put the eibach sportline kit on my '05 lx. did all 4 corners in about 5 hours by myself in the shop floor with floor jacks. fairly simple if you have any mechanical knowledge. my advice is dont get a bunch of yahoos who dont know anything trying to figure it out as they go. make sure you have a strutspring compressor and tie rod and ball joint seperators before you start. get the all 4 corners on jackstands and start takin ***** apart. the 6 nuts for the rear struts are behind 2 panels you have to pop out in the rear. dont forget alan wrenches when you try to take the nut off the struts. thats about all i can tell you since ive already done mine its a little late for a diy. my last piece of advice to you is invest in camber kits BEFORE you start. i waited til after i did mine to buy the camber kits and it took me forever to put them on because i knew i was about to have to take all that ***** apart again. good luck.
