Elbach lowering springs

[weaving_garden]

I have a 2022 Ford Escape Titanium 2.0 AWD EcoBoost and just wondering, has anyone lowered their Escape (2020+ gen)? I've got a set of Eibach lowering springs in my cart and have heard good things about the brand. Just curious how tough the installation might be? any tips will be helpful thanks!

A colleague got the Eibach springs and he said it's a solid choice!
Installing it should be a moderate DIY task.
The rear springs are usually pretty straightforward to swap out.
For the front, you'll be dealing with the strut assemblies, so you'll absolutely need a spring compressor.
You can typically rent one from most auto parts stores which is super convenient.

Installation shouldn't too bad if you have some basic tools and a spring compressor, but definitely take your time, front struts can be tricky.

Could be a tough job, front struts can be a pain, especially with AWD. If youre handy, yeah you might manage it yourself, but having an expert or someone experienced help is huge. Just dont forget you'll need an alignment after to keep everything handling right. Nope, not a one man job definitely

I've seen my buddy do this, and installing lowering springs on these newer Escapes can be a bit of a job, especially for the rears, due to suspension design. You'll likely need a good spring compressor and ideally a lift. It's totally doable DIY if you're comfortable, but factor in a full day or more

Totally. You can definitely tackle the rear setup on Escapes with a spring compressor and a bit of patience. It's totally doable as a weekend project if you've got the right tools handy
