NOTES: Read All Instructions Before Beginning Installation
Installation of a Eibach Multi-Pro Coil-Over set should only be performed by a qualified mechanic experienced in the
installation and removal of suspension components.
Use of a hoist is highly recommended and will substantially reduce installation time.
Never work on or under a vehicle unless it is properly supported by safety stands and wheels are blocked.
Never use impact wrenches or guns to install or remove shock absorber piston components, shafts and piston rod
nuts.
After installation, it is always important to inspect and adjust the following if necessary:
- Wheel alignment such as camber, caster & toe.
- Tire and/or wheel fender clearance.
- Brake line clearance and attachments.
- Brake anti-locking and anti-skid system sensors.
Alignment: After installation, you will need a full vehicle alignment to ensure proper tire wear and performance.
Height Adjustment – Should be performed with the wheels completely off the ground and with the springs fully
unloaded.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE /
RECOMMENDATIONS
COMPRESSION AND REBOUND SETTINGS
1. The shocks in this kit are adjustable for compression
and rebound dampening forces. The following steps
explain the adjustable features of this kit.
2. Turning the compression adjustment knob in a
clockwise or (+ pos.) direction increases the amount of
force necessary to compress the shock. Likewise
turning the knob in a counterclockwise or (–neg.)
direction decreases the amount of force to compress
the shock. Note : The compression adjustment is
located on the reservoir.
Turning the rebound adjustment knob in a clockwise or
(+ pos.) direction increases the rebound forces.
Likewise turning the knob in a counterclockwise or (-
neg.) direction decreases the rebound forces. NOTE:
The rebound adjustment for the coil-over is located
at the top of the shock.
