Default Bugeye Springs

hi peeps, just got my bugeye eibach springs and going to fit them tomoro, but can this be done without taking the brake lines off.

can i just undo the 2 bolts holding the bottom of the strut on the hub and undo the top mounts and use spring compressors.

i understand the rear seats have to be taken out for the back springs

anything else im missing! or is there any how toos for this job

Brake lines will stay in situ after removing the securing bolt from the front struts.

i managed to get them fitted without any problems, all seems ok at the moment with no bangs or knocks, so next job is the anti roll bar and drop links then for a lazer alignment.


The rear strut bolts was a pain tho, wow they were tight. airgun wouldnt touch them, scaf bar did tho :-)
