I could tell you how to get regular spring compressors on dead coils, or how to line up the rear spring bucket in a second, but I just dont feel like anymore.
Don't be offended. Please don't...

Don't even try to help him. The reason he takes three hours to do installs is because his know it all attitude. Instead of spending time trying to research tips on how to do it faster he would rather have an attitude with the people who could help him.

dmeng, Where did you get that quote from? I also live in CBus. You should go to Slowmotion Motorsports. They are a great group. They just installed my coilovers, sway bars, BBK and SS brake lines - and all that was cheaper than the quote you received.

Auto Assets in Powell, they did work on my Cayman, so I think they over estimated the infiniti for the same type of work.
Im going to go check Slowmotion tomorrow

That's 12 to 16 Eibach installs every month. I could only hope to be in that kind of demand. At that rate you've done more in the past month than I've done total. And I certainly can't jack up the rear of the car, place 2 jack stands and lower the car onto them, remove all 10 lugs (and usually a couple of wheel locks) and both wheels, remove the 2 lower spring seat bolts, 2 rear springs, replace both springs, line the holes back up (this always takes me several minutes to get it lined up straight) and get both bolts back in, properly torque both bolts, replace both wheels, replace 10 lug nuts (and usually wheel locks) and torque each one properly, jack the car up, remove the jack stands, lower the car back down and remove the jack stands in under 5 minutes!!! And you're doing all these lugs and the bolts by hand too. You are an awesome machine of efficiency bro! You're the Speedy Gonzalez of G Eibach spring installs man. I can only wish that I was anywhere near that fast.

And exactly what type of spring compressor are you using on the Eibach front springs? Unfortunately I don't have one that I can fit between the upper Eibach front spring coils since they're so close together. I usually take them to a local shop which wastes anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour while you're already finished with your feet up drinking beer. Help a brotha out and let me know please.
