Hey guys. I'm about to install the Eibach pro kit with front and rear dampeners and springs I only found 1 thing that might hold me up. On the drivers side front shackle bolt it looks to butt right up to the fuel tank. Is this true or is there a way around removing the tank to get this bolt out???

yea have two options you can unbolt the filler neck, and move the tank out of the way enough to get it out, or you can cut the bolt, and replace it

Even if you cut it wont you still run into problems putting the bolt back in or do you just flip it around???

you'd replace it and put the nut end on the inside next to the fuel tank, so no, no problems.

yeah, thats all i did...just cut off the head of the bolt and replaced it "backwards". the bolts were about $10 apiece from the dealer...at least they were 2 years ago when i got mine.

Cool thanks guys. So where is the best place to get the suspension parts??? I don't feel like spending the 1000 that Eibach's www said it should be. I think I got it down to about 850 and that's with the springs alignment kit and dampeners.

I can get you any of those kits and if there was something specific from those 3 companies you're looking for let me know.
