Hard job to install the springs yourself?

Just wondering, as i'll be getting some Ebiach's in the spring time, and wanna know how long it takes to install myself.

You can feel the difference of the handling
but not a big suprise one

the springs give u a very comfortable ride
it feels like stock

cornering better than stock for sure
but for a fast 90 degress one
not a big suprise

and it only lower the car for 0.875"

Mitch,

Do you have any pictures of your car with the new springs and wheels?

You should notice a difference when you change springs, shocks or stabilizer bars. You just need to know what to expect. The biggest difference in feel when cornering will probably come from stabilizer bars. They prevent the body from rolling when cornering, which is probably the most noticable aspect of handling around corners for most people.
