    Eibach Spring Numbers for clarification?

    Off hand, does anyone know what the location of the GT100101 and GT100102 Eibach Springs are? I need to know which goes up front and which goes in the rear. I am thinking I might have done something stupid and need to know which springs go where before I go any further.

    Thanks in advance!!

    The short ones go in the front. If that is still not clear I'll check tomorrow (I have a couple of boxes of them).

    I think I found the problem..

    Dave,

    I think I found the problem from other discussions on the forum. I had installed the springs on the car on my Dad's chassis lift (where the tires were simply hanging) and torqued everything down while the wheels were "unloaded". I have a 2-3 gap in the front wheel well and I thought maybe, somehow or another, I had switched the front and back springs.

    If you don't mind, please take a look for verification today, please.

    Thanks-

    The fronts are the smaller GT100102, rears are the larger GT100101.

    Put her on jack stands, then put your jack under the lower control arm and raise it until the car lifts off the jack stand you've used on that side - then torque up the bolts!
