[Shotimes] eibach's and tokico's

[David Sasak]

Eric:
    You made a good decision. My 94 with 100K rides only a bit harder (not
objectionable) than stock, and because the old rear springs were sagged so
badly, the rear ride height actually increased by 1/2" or so with the
Eibachs. Get front strut bearings, or better yet the entire mounts at the
local parts store. Rears - get mounts, and the rebound bumpers that go on
the strut rod at the local store too, and that nasty clunk will be gone. I
bought new pinch bolts too - like $3.00 each. The fronts are easy. Rears
need a little finesse, or it will turn into a project. I frightened the rear
pinch bolts with an acetylene torch, and was able to get both bolts out
without breaking. The entire job took a leisurely 5 or 6 hours, and only one
six-pack.
