    I have done searches on here trying to get info on how to remove Eibach lowering springs. Can't find any info on this question:
    When I go to remove the Eibach springs, do I need to use spring compressors?
    I know that spring compressors are necessary for the stock springs. But I recall someone once saying that for any lowering spring, you do not need to use spring compressors to remove the top nut from the assembly.

    You still have to compress them.

    On my eibachs I didn't have to compress them but I'd highly recommend it.

    Ok. Always best to be safe than sorry. I should just get spring compressors and be done with it, as I have numerous "stock" springs that will need removed in the near future.
