No. They don't work. I already have a very similar pair. The Eibach pro-kit springs are too closely wound at the top to insert the compressors to short the spring.

Where you can actually get a bite on the coils, it doesn't grab and compress them enough to be able to put the top hat back on.

oh i c... i suppose take the struts and springs to a local midas or something and have them assemble it then.

make sure the top hat's orientation is correct though.

Yeah that's plan B. Would have been helpful to know this in advance.

So many of the threads on this forum lack these important details lol
