Just install them and go !
make sure you line up the front springs into the spring perch correctly, or you'll have uneven height in the front...

make sure that the spring compressor tool you are gonna use is the kind that has 2 metal plates, one that slides in between the coils on TOP, and another plate that slides in the coils on the bottom of the spring, then, a long screw goes up from under the control arm into the spring and screws into the plates... then, as you turn the bolt (you may need an impact wrench to turn it) the springs compresses..... then you can remove the strut and pull the spring out from the top, remove the compressor tool, and insert it into the eibach spring and then re-install it in the reverse order as removal...


good luck !! dont be scared, its gonna sit high the first few weeks, until the springs settle a bit, it'll get lower but the launching will be much, much better than stock springs !
