Default Installing Eibachs next week....any tips for install?

My Eibach pro-kit springs are on their way and I'll be having them installed next week. For those who have aftermarket springs, do you have any tips or suggestions that will make the installation go smoother?

1) I've read that the Teins suggest you cut your bump stops...definitely not doing any of that on my car.

2) Also, would you suggest putting some grease at the spring perches? I've read that a few people has sqeaking issues after they installed their Eibachs.

Thanks!

No....my accident from 3 years ago (not my fault) doesn't allow me to do this myself. Do you mean the trunk liner needs to be removed?

BTW, do you have an E46 M3 as well? I think I recognize you from M3forum.net as E46 Project M3 from the avatar
