Eibachs enroute installation tips?

[Get Stung]

I have eibach springs coming and I looked but couldn't find any install tips. I seem to recall someone saying there is a special tool(kia makes) that helps with install. Any install tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve done the Eibach spring install using the guide below. Not really sure what tool would help make it easier...

My tips are in that thread.

Spring Compressor is the Tool you need for the Front Springs.

That’s standard. I’ve never heard of a special tool Kia uses that makes it easier.

Did you remove the front strut from the car completely before removing the spring or can the bottom of the strut be left attached and top just tipped out from under the wheel well before removing the top strut nut/hat?

Has to come out completely so that you have room to get the spring off and the new one on.
