Yes you are supposed to remove the stock springs perches. If you don't still have your instruction sheet, you can check it out on our site http://www.comptechusa.com and look under "Installation Help".

shaner,
Yikes, you have the stock perches on? Don't worry, I don't think anything damage can result from it...after all, the stock perch holds the weight and pressure from the stock springs. I would get it corrected soon though.
Stock perches come loose with a couple blows from a rubber hammer. I would turn the shock upside down, and just use a rubber hammer to knock off the stock perch. Be careful not to do this over cement because you might ruin the threads at the top of the shock, I used a block of wood to rest the top of the shock on when I turned it upside down.

Thanks Mike + Unicron... I re-read my instruction sheet and it explicitly tells you to remove the stock perches...

Or just pay someone to do it...You haven't been driving your car for awhile right? So hopefully there is no harm done...

When i had mine first installed..the rear perches were still on. I dont think it will hurt anything and quite frankly had i not looked i would have never known they were there. The downside is that you wont be able to adjust the ride height as much since the perch interferes. I did have them take them off and all is well. I didnt notice any ride difference. I had mine on for about 1K miles before I noticed it.

Unicron, how many miles do you have since installing these and have you noticed any uneven tire wear b/c you lowered it? How low did you drop it? I don't suppose anybody knows how low are the Eibach springs?
