Advice on Springs, Strut/Shocks

Was Thinking about picking up Eibach Sportline Springs and some Tokico struts/shocks for my 95 240.. Anybody have these on their car and how hard are they to install w/o going to a shop?

depends on your knowledge, but you're defintely going to need access to a spring compressor

I just did some work on my suspension not to long ago. Ur not gonna need the spring compressor to take off the springs but you will to put them back on. Un bolting **** is gonna be the hardest part. make sure u get some WD40 and a torge wrench. and most likely your gonna wanna do an alignment on your car when your finished. also make sure u have a good jack. and a good assorment of tools cuz those top strut bolts in the back are kinda hard to get off.

Good luck

if your'e gonna go tokico, why not pay the exrra bit and go AGX adjustables?

There's a walkthrough on NICO on how to do the install. You'll never everythnig they said, it's time consuming but not hard.

honestly you might want to consider saving up for AGX's. In the long run you'll want them compared to Blues. Maybe.
