I'd just get them from tirerack. Its $238 for 4 and I would think its cheaper then the ones on eBay which are $267 with shipping.

If anything getting them off tirerack will be either cheaper or the same price.

OK tire tack comes to over $270 so Ebay it is. And the mounts come with the bearings but what about the lower rubber pad and the rubber strut sleeve. I just wanna make sure i have everything and searching on here gets confusing. I dont want to reuse anything from the old ones.

hopefully someone can help me. I bought new KYB struts and hardware with all correct Part numbers. I installed a rear spring on the strut and bolted everything down fully and properly and decompressed the eibach and the spring isnt long enough to be fully tight between both mounts and i can move the spring if i pull hard enough. The Eibach spring is 3" shorter then a stock spring.

I can even sit on the unit and compress the strut and spring.

Also when i put the Eibach up to the stock spring on the car the eibach is the same size as the spring on the car compressed clearly showing the spring is too small.

The springs are lowering springs, so they should be shorter. As for them moving, mine do that too with no load on them.

If you're unsure take it somewhere and have them check to see if they are assembled properly.

Ok so its normal for them to move a little when not compressed or under load. I know there assembled right but with them moving it seemed odd. The fronts doesn't look like they will move once assembled because there longer when held up to the assembled compressed stocker's if you know what i mean.

Thanks for the help. I could of made a new thread but i just used this one since its the same topic.

It seemed odd to me too, so I was cruisin the forums when I got mine and seen it was a common and normal thing.

BTW, the fronts will do the same too.

For some stuff you have to read through general suspension threads or all the posts, it's all out there, just takes some time to find what your looking for.
