I am in the middle of changing my front springs to some Eibach Pros and I cant get the damn things in. Anyone got a tip or can someone swing by and help out. I can buy lunch.

Thanks,

Chris

you try using a spring compressor?

the right style is $12 at harbor freight tools, they have an outlet in fremont but also do mail order.
