    little help on installing springs

    im just about to start my install on my eibach springs and when i noticed a huge different in size of the spring, now i havent pulled anything apart yet just notices it when i jack up the car, the kit i have is Eibach Springs Pro-Kit

    #6026-140 for a v6, i have I4 ( did all the search for this make sure it will work)
    i checked all the makings on the new springs and they corispond to the kit that i have

    its as if the stock spring is wider in diamiter compared to the eibach witch is have the size and i wont look like it will fit right in the strut...

    ill get pics up in a min maybe pull a strut out

    yr of the car is 2000

    Id throw them on. But the OE struts are notorious for not being able to handle a drop
