I hope its boot down just put them in and dont want to have to horse around with them again.

Unfortunately my order was screwed up and I got two pair of rear shocks. Also 1 of 4 was defective.

There's where my rear shocks are, LOL. I received 4 front shocks even though the boxes were labeled correctly. I see yours are labelled correctly also.

I sure hope when I finally get the rears, they're not defective. I guess Eibach shuts down over the holidays, so it may be a while before it gets straightened out?

Many after market shocks are installed boot down=less unsprung weight

What do the directions point out?
Mine are boots up and they're staying way.

I can not find any directions for orientation from Eibach's or the service manual.
I just installed them how the stocks were.

Stage 3 fox's install video has "boots" up.

I did read the opinions here....but...look at the stickers. If the rears are boots up why does eibach put the stickers on upside down?

I emailed them and did notice things are shut down. The rears are a great improvement so far sorry you have to wait...

Kudos to Jason & Ryan at Stage 3 Motorsports. Jason escalated the issue and Ryan was working with Eibach to get the rears shipped out ASAP. To my surprise, the FedEx truck just dropped off a pair of rear shocks. I had no idea if they would actually ship out before the holiday shutdown, let alone next day. Great customer service.

Just curious for the people who put boots down because the sticker was upside down....

Did you flip the fronts too because the sticker is upside down if you do not? :D

Actually, for the fronts, the decal is right side up, scroll up, I posted a pic of the 4 fronts I received.

Interesting.

I just looked at both of mine and they are different directions.

Looks like they have some QC issues. haha

Mine are boots down in the rear, either way the shocks will perform the same with no issues
