Installing Eibach Pro Springs this weekend
My Eibach Pro Springs and 05-14 PRO STREET DBL ADJ PANHARD BAR couple days ago am am thinking about installing this weekend. My spring compressor came today so I think I am set. My question is how hard of job is this and were can i find step by step instructions there was nothing in the box at all. I checked out several videos just wondering if there is anything I should be aware of. I have all tools needed to do the job......Thanks for any help provided,,,,,,

I never did it myself, but i have seem in the videos. Be extra careful with the spring compressor while compressing the springs, they are loaded with lots of energy and accidents can happen. Just my two cents

Here ya go:
They all spell it out, and it's pretty much the same thing. Watch carefully, make notes on things, and you can whip the job out in no time, front and back. Just be careful, and use jack stands, and take your time. The front springs are NOTHING to be taunting.
Backs are *real* easy, IMO. Fronts are complicated by the assembly on the strut, but not terrible.
Panhandle bar is a direct swap. Two bolts. Easy peasy.
The jobs aren't very tough, really, just a lil' time consuming and a lot of little things. Again, take your time, and double check all bolts/connections when done.
Good luck, pics when you're done!

The only word of caution I would add is on the 2013 pay attention to the upper strut mount when removing and installing the strut. the bearing cap will separate if not careful and all the little bearings will spill out on the floor.
Not sure what models this could happen on, but my guess is 13-14. Happened to me when I installed my springs.
