How hard can it be? Lowering your car

I thought lowering my car would be a simple weekend job. Just some springs, right? Wrong. In this video, I document my full POV experience of attempting to install Eibach lowering springs — with zero mechanical experience. What started as a “how hard can it be?” moment turned into a 3-day struggle filled with trial, error, YouTube tutorials, missing tools, and more than a few questionable decisions. But in the end? Totally worth it. But there’s a silver lining: I finished the job (somehow), the car drives better than ever, and the lowered stance looks amazing — especially with the brand-new Bola FLE wheels I fitted after the install. The ride height is just right, the handling feels sharper, and the whole car has taken on a much more aggressive look. If you’re thinking about lowering your car at home, curious about how hard it is to install lowering springs, or just want to see what a first-time DIY suspension mod actually looks like, this is the video for you. I keep it real — no pro tools, no lift, no experience — just a jack, a lot of trial and error, and a goal to get it done. Whether you're modding your daily driver or dipping your toes into the world of DIY car projects, I hope this gives you a laugh and maybe even some helpful insights. 00:00 Intro 01:20 Jacking up car 03:36 Front suspension removal 07:04 Installing front spring 14:25 Rear suspension removal 19:11 Installing rear spring 24:32 DONE 25:04 NEW WHEELS 26:16 First drive
