front spring indexing?
Does anyone have a picture of how eibach sportlines need to be index in the front LCA? the old ebmiller88 posts dont link to current photo's available. I just installed sportlines, but they dont seem low enough and just want to make I installed the fronts correctly.

thanks!

Re: front spring indexing?
as long as you rotated the ends into the "pocket", you should be fine..

Re: front spring indexing?
I have no experience with lowering springs, so I may be completely off base. OE springs require that the coil's lower end be positioned between the two drain holes on the a-arm (IIRC, one hole can be covered but not both).
