The car looks excellent with those wheels and those coilovers. The ride height looks perfect.

To change the springs the next step would be use spring compressors, then remove the top nut right? I'm hearing that its a pita to remove that top bolt for the spring. Thanks your pics and DIY has made confident enough to put my eibach springs on. You are the man. My next part is coming from you.

No, you dont need a spring compressor to change the springs on coilovers. Its not like the stock strut, you can take all the preload off and just take it off. You will need an impact to take the top nut off of the coilovers though.

Installing springs on the stock struts is harder than this, only reason being you do need a spring compressor and the few extra steps.

Do you have to do alignment after installing the coilovers?

Um... what do you think?

Any time you change the ride height you need to realign.
