Message	install and address a specific and common problem. As said before for 90% of the Eibach owners out there it will get the job done and done well - when the alternatives are: Stillens CRAP for $300 TBO style Arms PLUS pillow ball tension rods $600+ $80 isn't too much to spend for something that has been tested and thought out. It;s more then the sum of its parts BUT also consider that sourcing HIGH grade bolts (10.9) is not as simple as going to your local Home Depot - can you "make" a similar kit @ home? With the right tools, sure BUT for most people it's not wortht the time and hassle. The fact it supports Damon and 300° isn't all bad either, given the fact that TTnet is a not for profit venture.
