4/5 as long as you have the proper tools and everything goes according to plan. It’s a pretty straight forward job. Just take your time and be sure to double check your work. Especially on the fronts because it’s the most time consuming part. Front springs do have a left and right side, so make sure they go on proper side. I had Swift’s and noticed they had different part numbers for the front springs. Only difference was that and one said F and the other said FR. good luck.

Just ordered eibach sportlines and going to use 18x9.5” +35 konig hypergrams with 275/35/18 RS-RR. Going to use the hard race front lower ball joints to get around -2.5 to -2.8 camber up front. Using the rear camber kit for about -2.2 or -2.3. Hoping it won’t rub but I’m sure I’ll have to do some trimming and changing

Anyone know of a place you can purchase the Euro spec Pro Kit in the US? My google search didn't turn up any options, unfortunately.

Went for an alignment and camber on all 4 corners is perfect with the EU Pro Kit - all corners are at ~ 2’10” of neg. camber. Eibach FTW.

I'll try reaching out to them tomorrow. I was leaning towards Sportlines, but the Pro Kits may be better for a DD.

Installed swift spec r springs about 2 weeks ago. I am running vmr 18x9.5 et 45 wrapped in 275/35/18 Michelin ps4s tires. No rubbing up front after bending the front fender liner tab. Rear only rubs if I hit a decent bump or dip.

I am curious to know this as well. I like how the drop with H&R springs is slightly lower than Eibach Pro-kit and Spoon, but not as low as Swift. My car is a daily driver all year round so I am not sure I would like having a 1" drop especially in the winter.Anyone with H&R springs? Had them on my Evo X and liked it a lot. I'm leaning toward Spoon right now, but it's over $500

Hey guys I just noticed something strange in my rear springs (Sportlines) and wanted to ask if anyone has seen this as well.
My rear driver side coil looks fully compressed but the rear passenger side coil doesn’t look fully compressed. See attached pics. Was this a bad install by the tuning shop? The car was on a slight parking ramp (nose down) when I took the pics, but still level left to right. Please let me know. Thanks!

It should look like the passenger side picture. It looks like your driver side spring is upside down (you should be able to see the silencers on the spring). Can you read the Eibach writing on the spring? It should be rightside up.Hey guys I just noticed something strange in my rear springs (Sportlines) and wanted to ask if anyone has seen this as well.
