just dont see how stiffer springs can cause a shock to leak. Unless its bottoming out but my guess is that the shock was bad before they put the springs on or was damaged well putting the new ones on.

Changed thread title to more properly reflect what's going on.

I feel like this thread is going to mislead people away from Eibach products. Can the first post be updated too?

Or is this again a problem with his shocks?

I think the ride quality of your friend's car is directly related to his shocks getting damaged during the install. The the Pro-Kit is the most basic and introductory sport spring that is engineered for everyday comfort and performance.

haha this is too funny

Eibach products are top quality!

My service department decided to replace my shocks, so I'm going to make sure its not a installation problem this time. Shit happens so whatever.

Posted a note in the first post.

Is this tool something that comes with the Pro-Kits upon purchase, or something I should be on the lookout for next time I'm browsing tools?

The tool is a special tool from Toyota that is needed. It will not come with the Pro-Kit or Sportline kit.

I'm going to work with our technicians to get some photos and a write up soon.
