I just recently completed a suspension over haul of the rear and it went well. I installed upper/lower control arms, koni shocks, eibach springs and poly bushings. All in all no major problems.

Now I am working on the front and I am the point where I am trying to install the new eibach springs and Koni Struts. Does anyone have any hints as to the easiest way to install the springs. They are almost 2" shorter than the stock ones and they are still a pain in the *** to get into place. Do you HAVE to use the FORD spring compression tool? Or, can you get away with something else?

Any hints on this installation would be great!

Thanks . . . Cam
