I have an Eicbach Pro-kit all ready to get installed as soon as my car gets here (hopefully next week!!) and just wanted to know if anyone has had any issues installing them? I think there was an article in the current MMFF or 5.0 that said additional parts are required. Just looking for some pointers, don't want any suprises at the install shop of choice. Thanks

The install is pretty straight forward, you'll need a spring compressor for the front struts. I've done 3 so far and it can be done in 2hours or less start to finish.
What part of Ohio are you in?

If you search around the site you will see a few of us went into great detail on how to install the springs and issues with aligning the front tires afterwards.

Most places should have the proper specs now. That was not the case when I tried to get mine done. At the time only FORD had the specs so they had to do the alignment, however I still needed camber bolts installed. Read this.

Here is a write up I did.

Also, my alignment shop was able to align my car jus fine with out any add on camber adjusters or slotting. But they are used to working on specialty cars.

Question... what about that pro-alingment kit from Eibach? Is that just a bunch of lies or does it work? I saw it on their website, and it's listed for $30 in some places (beats the $200 from Steeda for their Camber kit).
It would be nice to know if this is something that would fix the camber when you go to align it...
