Did you remove the 2 bolts holding the other point of the lower control arm on step #7? It allows the arm to pivot out of the way for better access to that bolt you can't get out.
It’s how long it took us after doing it a few times. It should take a qualified mechanic at least 3 hours the first time and I can see people in their garage spending over 5 hours. But if you can’t do the rear under an hour you probably shouldn’t even try the front.
I should correct the statement. It provides 1 degree of camber adjustment range. So it’s actually 0.5 degrees each way. We measured it with our camber gauge.
Unbolting the lower arm from the subframe requires removing the undertray which is 20+ clips and bolts so there are more steps but we found that overall it saves much more time than removing the lower ball joint and the strut has much more room to come out. Sometimes the long way is the quicker...
Eibach are great springs and if you don't have any problem with them you should keep them because you'll likely need another alignment after switching. The ride quality for Spoon is close to that of OEM so if that's what you're looking for then Spoon might be a better choice. Ride height wise...
Sorry, we kind of blew right past that. You can remove that tab even when the strut is still on the car. You actually can't rotate it because it's splined so it doesn't spin. The easiest way is to put a nut on it for grip strength and leverage and wiggle it out, it come off pretty easily. This...
We tried to do it by removing the castle nut but it was no help it still wasn't enough clearance to easily get the strut out. Removing the lower arm from the subframe may require more steps but it makes the whole process much faster and easier. The suspension has so much room to get the strut...
Spoon are more compliant than Eibach but doesn't sacrifice roll resistance. Through the corners the Spoon springs do a better job absorbing bumps and stays well planted. Eibach are a little stiffer than Spoon but you get sharper steering response but the tradeoff is a little harsher ride.
Eibach and Spoon are the same height down to 1/16th-inch. Swift would be lower than both Spoon and Eibach and also stiffer. So in essence the drop is the same for Eibach and Spoon
