compressing eibach coils

has anyone on here assembled eibach coils/ 5100bilsteins with one of the rent a compresser from their local auto parts stores?

 

A lot of people have. Just be smart and you'll be fine.

 

Yes. Totally doable. Recommend 1/2" drive sockets to turn the spring compressors (air tools are even better). Take your time and do a little bit on each side and work your way methodically. Compress a little more than you think.

 

well a friend of mine has done it quite a few times and has offered to give me a hand. but i just wanted to check. thanks

 

You guys will be fine. It's pretty straightforward.

 

Also one more question when I put the spring on the shock the nut isn't in the center is this sumthing I should be worried about?

 

Once you get the top plate back on, it will pull everything into alignment.
