Hey Mike, I was just wondering about the Rear Springs length or lack of and was wondering if your Eibachs ever shifted around! I've heard of some owners thinking of securing the springs in someway or another! Thanks...

I just ordered the Eibach springs last night and won't get them on till next weekend. (I think) I will let you know about noises after that.

My Eibach Pro springs arrived today. That was fast shipping from tiredirect.com, one day! Mike, I noticed that 2/3 of the rear springs are coated with some sort of clear plastic or vinyl covering. Was yours covered like this? I assume it is to reduce noise.
Hope to get the time to install them tomorrow.

Thanks. That is what I thought. Do they go to the top?

Mike, if you look at the instructions, it tells you to place "EIBACH" logo facing up, which puts the tightly wound coils at the top.

Thanks for the advice Jeff. I just reread the instructions and I must have missed that. That is how I figured they went.
Thanks
