Default Need help installing Eibachs..tonight!!

I am putting Eibachs in my Cobra 03, and I cannot get the rubber spacers in. The top is a perfict fit without the spacers and leaves no space for them. Any help is appriciated.

Have you pushed the lower a arm all the way down? The way I have done it (keep in mind this is a 94 I'm talking about) is to push the a arm all the way down, put the spaver on top of the spring and put it in, then angle the bottom of the spring so that it hits the seat in the lower a arm. Kinda hard to explain I guess.

You are using a jack to push the lower a arm up, correct?

or you can totally disconnect the a arm and compress the spring with the cars weight then re-bolt the bolts..............



or you could rent a spring compressor and compress the spring to put it back in ..................
