Eibach sportline

Ok the drop on these are perfect but people have said that they blow the struts immediately. I dont remember the thread i read but one guy said he was perfectly fine on them because they didnt use an impact gun or something like that? Is that all it takes installation-wise to not let the struts blow within 20 miles? lol

The springs don't blow the struts, improper disassembly and assembly damage the struts. It's best to use hand tools to remove the upper mounts to avoid spinning the shaft internally.

This post was one of the first to surface with this issue.
