Now how has the overall handling changed with the eibachs. I am interested in your opinion since you kept the stock wheels and tires. I am just wondering how much of a difference you can tell with just the springs and without any tire/wheel upgrade at this time.

If you have a Impact gun and Air Compressor, do it yourself, if not take it somewhere. It took me about 4 hours start to finish, making sure everything was torqued down.

use a heat gun or a blow dryer to heat up the sticker and then carefully peel it off.
