i have a '86 t/a and i lowered it with eibach sportline i have the kybs all around they are the second best upgrade from their kyb line up now the car has sat for more than a year give or take but almost ready to start driving it but in between that year the back shocks began to sag so i replaced them they were still under waranty and the new shocks after a month or two they began to sag i know those shocks are not designed for lowered cars and i tried to install the OEM springs i still have from the car but it was a B*%@$ to install and i could not get one on from the driver side i have a spring compressor but it doesnt look loike it will get the job done reason is when i fully compressed it there was no way i could get the tool out and gave me way to much problems so what other alternatives other than having some shop to install them what other tools make the job easy or what tips help make install easier the reason for the stock springs going on is i will put them away untill i can buy bilstein shocks designed for lowered cars i know i typed an essay but the more info i give you the better you can help answer my topic

 

Not sure how a shock can sag since they hold no weight when sitting static. Asz for installing the springs,unbolt the shocks, remove the bolt that holds the brake hardline/flex line joint on the back of the rear frame, and that will allow you to lower the axle more, making it easier to install the springs. You should not need a spring compesser for the rear springs.

 

the back springs is not a problem i wanted to tackle the front springs they are hard, and on the back shocks i dont know why they sag not a lot but enough to tell that it went down a bit it sat a bit hire when i first installed them

 

you sure that its not just changing seasons?

high pressure gas charged shocks will change pressure w temp and will sit higher in war weather.

 

thats something i didnt know but then again the shocks i have are cheap shocks they may be second best but after the reading on the threads about them and owning them i would have saved my money and bought bilsteins if i ever knew i was gona lower my car
