This is what I was remembering. I don't know if it will help. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2213232

I don't know much about suspension.

Just found this thread while doing a search. Still haven't found a good DIY for installing your own springs. Anybody? I don't want to have to take it somewhere if I can do it myself. Or perhaps someone knows if Eibach sends you instructions or not with the springs? TIA

I just got my H&R sports and will probably install it this weekend. Will I need the strut spreader tool or can I use something more common to replace it? Also, is there anything in the swankmonkey.com DIY that's different from actual install experience? Thanks.

Ok I'll try my best. At the very least, it'll be a guide on how NOT to install springs. :P
