about an hour and a half is what it took me, not counting the time it took to go to the local goodyear to have them change out the fronts with a proper spring compressor (which only added about 40 to the price)

Quick question to those whom have the Eibachs... besides using the rear camber/toe kit is anything needed on the front to re-align to factory specs?
