NEED HELP WITH INSTALL (springs)

Alright guys. My Eibach Sportline springs came in last friday I was so excited that I pulled out my tool box, rolled out the jack, and got started. I wanted to start with the rear springs first, since they are a little tougher to get to. TALK ABOUT IT. I took apart the whole trunk looking for the "knuckle". I was so damn frustrated! Does anyone know how to get to the rear "knuckles"?? If so... please help. I dont wanna have to dish out $240 for installation at a local shop. Thanks guys.

Don't do it yourself. You need special tools to install springs, the spring compressor is one of them, just squeezing them with bare hands is not enough...

I don't think you're talking about the "knuckle". I'm sure you mean the top spring seat. Doing this yourself isn't hard. If you were in the LA area, I'd do it for you for $100 and it'll take me less than 1.5 - 2 hours MAX.

THANKS guys. I-MOD... i think i'll take your offer. I sent you an email with my contact info. You're a lifesaver. I was hoping i didnt have to do this myself. I even took the day off today, knowing it would take me a while. I'll post some pics for you guys when i get them on.
