Got Struts And Springs In......

No, that doesn't make you an idiot. The drop from Eibachs is really not noticeable. As far as how the springs sit, there should be a rubber piece that they sit on. There should be one on the struts that were on the car. With these on, the springs should lay a lot better on the strut.

yea i saw that once i pulled the assembly off, but seeing as there are springs already on it, i see no reason for a little more of a drop, i wanted it another couple inches lower and slappin some st springs on instead of eibach isnt going to get me that lol..........o well though, ill just get the kyb's put on and i will work with some STB's and sway bars for a lil better handling.....

is it suppose 2 sit like that?

i think you have it on upside down....cause this is what mine looked like

no i actually had the front and back mixed up thats why......i remember a post a while back that said the fat ones went on the back, they must have been mistaken too........maybe thats why everyone has so many problems with popping and all kinds of weird noises....lol.....

but nevermind i am just going to go get the struts installed at like pep boys or something, its just easier seeing that i have no air compressor........

you can rent one for cheep
but anyways
The holes if no one said it are there to retain the rubbers that stop noise from the springs rubbing on the struts.
With Air it took me about 45minutes to do all four struts... and thats inbetween beers. :thumbsup:
