Just make sure to support the axle so it doesn't fall out like everyone else has said. My buddy didn't listen to me and spent quite a few hours getting it back in. if you install them yourself, familiarize yourself with the DIY. Woo Eibach Sportlines!

Just make sure your rotors don't become parallel with the ground.

be careful! my mechanic installed my springs yesterday (pics coming soon ) and my axle popped out on him!, but than again i dont think he had it supported. He popped it back soon after, but also broke a major sweat doing it.
