Eibachs + PIU struts/shocks

[jwuonog]

I am planning to install Eibach Pro-Kit springs and the PIU front struts and rear shocks soon.

Can someone look at my parts list and confirm I have everything I need? Is there anything else I should replace while I'm in there?

Will I need a spring compressor to get the Eibachs onto the front struts? I've watched a video of HSF and for the replacement, it didn't look like a compressor was required at that step, only for removal.

You most likely not need the strut bearings. I installed my Eibach with 70k on my ST and I now have 102k and still have the OEM strut bearing. But for $20 it won't hurt.

You will need a spring compressor.to take your OEM Springs off, but not to put the Eibach on.

I have a little bit of a creak when I stop too quickly and when going over bumps a certain way. I have a feeling it might be the strut bearing, so I want to replace.

OEM springs will stay on the OEM strut, and probably tossed. So is it safe to say I won't need a spring compressor?

If you dont transfer parts off OEM struts you will need - Strut dust cover. Upper and lower spring isolators, bump stop, upper mount, isolator, and bearing. (7,8,5,6,9,10) in Photo

The Eibachs are low enough that you don’t need a spring compressor. You need one for removal though.

I am doing the front struts soon and picked up the bearings just in case. Have 110k miles and 6 years on my ST.
