I am NEVER EVER EVER buying a pre-modified car again. Period. This is rediculous.

That's what I get for not researching it I guess.
Anyway,
There's Eibach springs installed. The numbers on them read:
37/98
5513.101

is the first set of numbers ride height?
what is the 2nd? I have no idea what to make of this.

what springs are these does anybody know? i can't find info on them based off of those numbers.

My shocks are KYB GR-2. Not the greatest in the world but the car sure rode stiff.

attached is a pic of Right-Front.

will it be safe for me to remove the springs by myself? I got to thiking that even when jacked up they're under tension, if it were to snap while I was unbolting it from the eng. compartment... BAM! ow...

and another pic. light area shows where the numbers listed above are.

.....on Koni yellows!

The person I bought mine from said they lower .8 of an inch and have a progressive spring rate from 90 to 160. Stock is 90. What info I have been able to find corroborates this! I'll know better when I install them tomorrow.

Anyone else know more???

I would suggest calling Eibach directly to find out their specs, I don't know.

However, regarding removing them.

Yes, you can drop the strut/shocks out from the car, the spring is attached to the strut itself. However, removing the spring FROM the strut, once you have it out of the car, requires a spring compressor to do correctly.

Those numbers are internal Eibach reference numbers; they don't imply any rate.&nbsp The "5513.101" is the actual Eibach part number; those are Pro-Kit system springs.&nbsp Only the Eibach ERS (race) springs have the corresponding rates stamped on them.
