ARGGG! tried to fit my eibach pro spring kit today and was a right nightmare!! got the backs on fine in about 40 mins. the fronts however were a right pain. just couldnt get the shock absorber off. so at the moment my car is looking a right state. anyone got some tips on how to do it? pics would be really appreciated.

Taken the driveshaft nut off, and the bottom ball joint bolt?

Helps to get some leverage on the shocker...

yep had everything totally off but couldnt get the shocker seperated. now ive got a bloody wobble when i brake (think i may have loosened the disk in the process lol )

If it clamps into the hub then you need the spreader tool to get the shock absorber out.

The disk shouldn't be loose as it is held in place by the wheel bolts.

Is the caliper tight? Did you undo the hub nut? If so is that done up correctly?
