Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs

[Daily86]

Going to install Eibach Pro-Kit soon. Just checking the orientation. Instructions say the Eibach name printed on the springs should be right side up like in the picture. Is this correct?

You have the front/rear springs mixed up.
The spring you have listed as "front" goes in the rear.

Rtoyo is correct

[Daily86]

Okay. Thanks. The top bottom is correct though?

Yes, the lower spring perch has a notch for the last coil to sit in nicely, the upper spring perch is flatter so you got it correct.

Got the springs installed finally. I followed the easy coil install method http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32414. The front was an easier install than the rear. Happy with the results. Some forum members say the ride is to harsh, others can't tell much difference. I'm with the latter. Might depend on the road though. I drove for about two weeks before getting an alingment. How do my alignment numbers look? Daily driven street car.

Looks good get some camber bolts for the front and max out the camber it feel even better after that

I would not add more camber unless he's tracking or autocrossing. It's just going to wear out the tires quicker on a DD car that drives straight most of the time.

Otherwise those numbers look good. Though I would have preferred zero front toe or a tiny bit of toe out for quicker turn-in.

Thats a common misconception, excessive toe is what kills tires. Having some front camber helps this car get some grip in the front end and helps with over steering. My car is DD and i run -1.6 up front and been like that for like 3 years and theres no signs of excessive tire wear.

Agree with the toe settings. Also just FYI- https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show....php?p=2948387

That's actually not a whole lot. The rears are around that much from the factory. I forgot how little just one pair of camber bolts will give you

Yep, the camber bolts max out at like -1.75 something like that. Its not enough to cause significant wear. I see people here running like -2 and -2.5 for street without any issue as long your toe settings are in check.
