    Damn that looks good. Wanting to move up to 35 mtr's too soon. You have 4.10's? Can you take a pic of your firewall with the tires at full lock? Last question.. what is the backspacing on your wheels?

    Got the Eibachs mounted up today, heavy on the bro-lean while I wait for my Dakars to come in. Too impatient, couldn't wait.

    His are at the only setting you should be running a set of Eibach coils and Bilstein 5100's at. The lowest setting.

    How have you guys been assembling your coils? Just trying to figure out the best/quickest way that will actually work

    Bone stock. For now.
    I just rented some strut spring compressors from Auto Zone. Hell I even took the assembly inside and watched tv while I was doing it. It's that easy.

    I used a wall compressor. I rented the spring compressor from autozone but after reading horror stories I chickened out and took it to the wall compressor.

    The 2nd time I did this I used the jack method and it worked perfectly. Just gotta be very careful, as you would with anything dangerous I guess

    I did forget to mention that I used that method to get my stock coils out, and used strut compressors to get the ToyTec coils in.

    I used the jack method with 5100's and eibach coils. Ended up wedging a bottle jack between the UCA and inner fender or something sketchy. As long as you do it slowly and know where the tension is, it's do-able

    I did the same thing with the bottle jack on the UCA to keep the force from traveling ^up
