Question about lowering

[MustangJunkie]

After seeing JonJon's before-and-after pics in another thread, I just placed an order for an Eibach Pro-kit (for 04 GT convertible). Got it for $233.83 delivered from coximport.com.

Question I have is how hard is it to install the new springs? I have access to a lift. Is it something I should be able to do myself? (I installed my new cat back without a problem.)

Thanks.

Yeah I think you could do it, there's intructions all over the net for it also. We did it in my garage using jacks. The hardest part is just pulling the springs out and putting them in

very simple. If you can use a floor jack and turn a ratchet you can do it. You don't need a lift at all.

floor jack, jackstands are all you need.

there are literally 6 bolts to the rear. drop the rear sway and lower the control arms.

the front just support the a-arm with a the jack. take the brake line lose. unbolt the strut and drop the spring out.

depending on your mileage you may consier new isolators. I bought them but I was only at 20k when I did the install really did not need new ones.

Thanks so much, guys. I just went over 4k miles today so I don't think I need new isolators. I'll give it a whirl. Sounds like it shouldn't be so bad.

Man, I can't wait to put them in! That jeep 4x4 look was really getting to me!

Let me know how it goes if you gets yours on. I just bought Eibach springs yesterday and I can't wait to get them on. I'll probaly get a buddy to do mine though.

 

[MustangJunkie]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. Can you get the new springs in there without taking off the wheels?

Have the BBK lowering springs, it wasn't hard. But I would suggest that you get the offset rack bushings as well. You will notice a difference with your tire wear. Caster/camber plates too...
