No, they're there. Look to the front of the driver door, right below the hood line.

^Yeah, it sure sounds like it cuz the KSpeed ones don't look any lower than the Eibach ones at all (and they're supposed to be way more lower too)-like WTF? It looks like I'll be going with the Pro-Kit now, I like the way they look, plus they're black like my car & I can probably put them on my credit at Les Schwab (I'll buy them there & probably let them install too if it's cheap). Well, time to save up a 'lil bit for my next mod I guess...

Not to rain on any vendors' parades
If any vendor on here can do $250 I would rather buy from someone involved with the forum.

It's not even available until 9/28/12 on that page. Good luck leveraging a lower price on a part that is already available on our vendors site and still over three weeks out on the eBay page that you have to call in to get in on. Maybe in 27 days you can work a deal, but, you have to find out if they are a certified vendor and if not Eibach might tell you to pack sand in warrenty issues.

True that! Eibach looks against warranting product sold on eBay, as most manufactures will not warranty items (even if they are new) on eBay.

I am not concerned about a warranty on a $250 item, especially on something with no moving parts like springs. And I am not trying to "leverage" against an eBay item. I understand how purchase resell works and the different price points that are viable to vendors. All I was saying was that I would rather buy from a vendor on here than off eBay.

Installed these springs today. Gotta say the drop is exactly what I was looking for; not too much but just enough to fill the gap with 205/50/17's. Ride is to be expected from sport springs. Cured the pitch issues I had with the stock springs. Install was a breeze and Eibach was nice enough to provide new bump stops, insulators for the rear, as well as dust boots for the rear. This is my fourth vehicle running some sort of Eibach product, and I have never been disappointed.

I got a few questions. I don't have any automotive technician experience what so ever. Installing these springs a simple task or is it pretty involved? Like do I need a lift or a jack or is this something I could install in my driveway/parking lot of where I live?

Google it. It's relatively involved, and it would probably be best for you to have them installed.

Experienced persons have installed lowering coils in their driveway. The Sonic has two complications that I suspect would give even an experienced person pause for thought: the Sonic does not have a lot of room to work in which leads to the second complication, getting to the top hats involves removing the body panel right below the windshield.
And it does involve using jacks, of course.
And it is a suspension; mess it up and you will not be going anywhere quickly if at all.

Had mine professionally installed. The wiper cowl removal seems simple enough, and after that it is looks relatively easy, if you have the right tools. But then again I have done 20 or so coil over strut swaps. The first time was a little intimidating, but I did it without the internet. There are very informative step by step instructions floating around, and Danny5 has done a great job on his write ups for accessing the top hats, as well as r&r on the springs.
