I watched the install with mine. Involves removing rear seats, lots of tough/tight manuvering...pretty tough. I did my own CAI no problem, but trying springs/coilovers sounds like a bad idea I think.

my Eibach 4044.140's just showed up 10 minutes ago.
REMOVE THE REAR SEATS?? :wtf:
i thought the top mount would in accessible from within the trunk.
that's puts a damper on my efforts to install the rear springs myself. i'll do the fronts 1st and the decide on the rears.

I asked about if taking the rear seats is necessary to install the rear lowering springs and one of the place that carries springs said you don't need to???? So do we have to remove the seat or not???

i did the tein install myself. with the right tools it's not that hard. you DO have to remove the rear though. there is no other way to get to the rear upper strut perch. i got a little inside info from a freind of mine who builds the tl here in ohio @ the marysville plant. good luck.

Must be a headache taking the two rear seats out. I am not very fond of taking the seats off b/c it will only make your seat loose (WOn't be fitted like before) it will never look the same. What do you all think!!!

I just installed my Tein Coilovers on myself, taking the rear seat off isn't all that hassle as i thought it would be (with the service manual) of course. I really love the coilovers, my car is currently sitting 2.5" in the front and 2.3 in the rear right now, and it looks so nice. I'll definatly raise it up once my camber kit comes in. Cause it's sitting way too low as of right now, I'll take some pic on Monday and post them.

it's easy, just check 3G Garage for the detailed service manual pic which shows exactly the bolt places and some nice descriptions by the poster.

If you search there are some pretty good scanned pages on rear seat removal.
