Eibach Sportline Spring questions

I just picked up a set of front and rears for my car. I am a gear head by nature and extremely knowledgable with cars/ motorsports and tools. My questions are, is this something that I can do in my garage with jack stands? Do I need a tool to compress the spring for the fronts, or will the new spring fit without compressing it? Just don't want to tear it down to find out that I can't continue without taking the strut and spring to someone to do for me. Currently have 20"SRT8 rims with 275/40/20's all around. Just want to lose the gap in the fender a bit. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You will need a compression spring tool to dismantle the front spring and reassemble the new eibach.

you can disassemble the rear using some good ties down ratchet strap and reassemble the new one the same way.
you may need to lower or remove the exhaust to get acces to the inner bolt of the suspension.

if you need a set of Eibach pro damper to fit your coilsping, I got a nice used set for sale rust free with low miles.
I can ship from Montreal without problems, my add is in the Ontario sales in this forum

It's not too bad. I did two cars on Jack stands in the driveway. Mine a 07 AWD and a buddys 13 rwd. Youtube is your friend to get an idea of how its done. I think there is a challenger on there that show you how. It helps to have a impact gun especially to use on the spring compressors you borrowed from Advance auto. Harbor freight electric is like $40 with a coupon.
And yes I had to lower the rear exhaust to gain access to the bolts on the rear cradle. Lower not remove. I took off the bolts to the hanger brackets which gave the clearance needed. 3-4 hour with a helper.

Got it, Thanks guys. It's going to be my winter project. I'll get the wifey to give me a hand, she loves wrenching on my alter ego, so it shouldn't be too hard to convince her to lay hands on the hemi. I hope..
