Swift vs Eibach Pro-Kit

[Car00071]

Thank you! Just saved me a bunch of time!

Yep no problem man! Going to be tackling this install tomorrow on my car so I have done quite a bit of research haha.

I made a list of stuff I will need and torque specs from searching around. Please feel free to correct any if you notice anything wrong. They should all be right though.

• sway bar endlink - 47 ft/lbs
• 2 Shock bolts - 47 ft/lbs
• 3 top hat bolts - 46 ft/lbs
• center nut on shock - 44 ft/lbs
• rear outmost lca - 51 ft/lbs
• inner lca bolt - 30 ft/lbs
• tools needed: 12mm socket (brake line nut)
• 14mm socket (sway bar end link & tophat)
• 17mm socket (shock nut)
• 17mm wrench (shock bolt)
• 18mm socket (center nut on shock)
• flat head/pick (release ADS connector)
• pry bar
• spring compressor
• Pb blaster (or some lubricant to help release shock out of knuckle)
• maybe some small extensions?
• knife/blade to cut bumpstop down

Nice! Thank you.
I’m a service Manager at a Maserati dealership, and will be doing this on a lift once the springs arrive. You just saved me having to lug ALL my tools up there! And got the torque specs too! Thank you again!

Your car is now aching for less wheel offset. Visually, it needs it.

Quick question - did you sell your red one and if so why was that?

What are the drops in real life on these? Are you guys using FK8 or FL5 springs?

ProKit is the least drop or HR? HR FK8 better than FL5?
Then Spoon
Then Sportlines the most drop?

Is there any summary of the drops/rakes? I am looking for the least amount of drop with the most stock like rake for mine which I am currently assuming is the HR FK8 springs?

I was hoping that would be true, but I tried your bolts (because I'm waiting for a friend to help me install them on the Wing) and they're a little larger with a slightly different thread size than my license plate screws.
