Will have Eibach Pro-kit installed myself this Sat.
If no surprise, i'll be picking up a spring compressor tomorrow morning, and have the eibach pro-kit (eating dust in the conservatory for months) installed this Saturday afternoon.
wish me good luck.

yeah stock struts still good. will probably replace them later this year, but that'll be 3 years of eibach work, so that's pretty good for stock shocks. afterall, we have kyb as stock

damn it...
did rear left first, all seems good. then came to rear right - the endlink nuts just went nuts, totally screwed. then we found out we forgot the rubber cover thingy on top of the rear left strut, so we decided to re-do rear left. we couldn't believe it - another strut top nuts just went nuts and srewed. now i have a rubber thingy left-out, 3 new springs and 1 old springs in the box, 2 screwed nuts on the car, laughting at me.

Comparison:
After some 3 hours... i forgot the rubber cover thingy, but i did put 2 1/2" washer, i might just need one 12mm.

had a run last night, as well as some 60 kms trip today to a gun show, no real "clunking" so far, did have some funny sound, might be the entire rear trunk has no cover at all, every little sound's coming out.
the rear left (with Eibach) already sitting about 1 ~ 1.5 finger lower than rear right. going to do the front now...
