Me and a buddy are going to put on a set of eibach sporlines on my 01 GT. Is there anything different or I should watch out for following the "steeda spring install" note ( http://www.stangnet.com/tech/spring.html ) when using it as a blueprint to install these sportlines....or can I just consider this note to be a generic spring install note?

Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks
Later

easiest way I can think off..

remove wheels
disconnect brake lines/abs/etc..
disconnect 2 shocks/strut bolt
lower the A-arm all the way down carefully
remove spring
install new spring
reinstall everything

have fun man

mustangworld.com - steedaspring install
Here is another set of instructions.
The only thing I had a hard time doing during the install was getting the front springs in. I had to give them a light kick to ge them in the hole. Otherwise, it was easy. Good Luck!

Got it done, full success! Thanks for all the replies. Took about 4.5 hours. We had to use a hammer to bang out the crap out of the tie rod end in the front, but bedsides that everything went smooth. Good thing my buddy was there to help me out (do most of the work), but I learned a lot as we went along.

Also thanks to Scotty for making that deatiled note on spring installs.....VERY detailed.

Now time for a throttle body!!
