Welcome!

If they're not SRT springs, then yes. But our stock struts don't enjoy lowering springs, especially if they're old. Might want to think about getting aftermarket struts.

:laughing3:

I guess I meant to say "You can put the Eibachs on stockers and they'll work sorta, but you really shouldn't waste them on old, stock struts." Oh well.

Or return the springs and buy these. Because after you buy new struts that will survive the springs, and hardware, you will be well into Raceland pricing, and into temtped to get real coil over prices.

Fully assembled, and ready to just swap right in. All you'll need is an alignment. :thumbup:

Another factor to keep in mind, the lowering leads to some curb scraping depending on the roads and pavement and such in your area.
