I've just ordered some Eibach springs. Has anyone done/able to do, a blow by blow account of fitting. Do I need any special tools (eg spring clamps.)
Cheers

you need some spring compressors and some allen keys.. and some offset ring spanners.. you then also need to get the geometry set back up as the bottom bolt is a concentric (iirc) one which adjusts camber??
Piece off **** to do but remember springs are lethal when compressed..

It might be worth using their air tools to crack the top nuts too!!
Make sure you soak the nuts and bolts you will need to remove overnight in WD40, then crack the strut top nuts with the weight still on the car
