I install the perch upside down. No wonder the car is riding so high. I will fix it this weekend.

BTW does anyone know the spring diameter (of the rod, I want to buy some tubing to replace the existing tubing)

why does your springs look fully compressed?

 

The spring perch is upside down, I had one of those ah-ha moments last night, I have to redo it this weekend.

 

Should check circlip for any signs of damage when you flip the perch

 

Will do, thanks

 

 

The "lift-kit" has been uninstalled. Apologies for the pictures, the iPhone likes a degree of lighting.

 

Finally finished. I modded the front housings and installed the yellows, new air filter, new stock front air dam and a AUX/HON adapter for my iPhone.

 

I cut the tops of the dust covers so according to the directions for the Eibach springs. But they do not stay up and therefore defeat the purpose of protecting the strut rod. Should I just re-install the stock covers?

 

yes you can

anything is better than nothin!

 

Just wanted to give an update. The KONI's are great, I had them on full firm and the ride was very stiff, I backed off on the firmness one full turn all around and the car handles great.

 

looks good, glad those worked
