hey guys, sorry for this, but after reading a bunch of posts, i would just like to know for sure
i am gonna buy lowering springs/KYB's any day now, but just wondering, do i need a spring compressor? i know it can be done without but easily and safely? i was just thinking that if i need one, i dont have one so would have to track one down. but yeah, i know alot of ppl said they didnt use one, i just want to check. thanks guys

I just did new F and R struts and springs last week. It is actually easier than I thought it would be.

I did not use a spring compresser.

Before I started, I loosened the top nuts about 95%. Then after I removed the strut assemblies from the car, I layed it on the ground and finished removing the nut. It popped off about 1 foot away from me MAX.

When putting the new assembly back together, I held the strut upright, had someone push down on the top and I turned the nut. Easy as pie.

Just make sure you put it all back together properly. That's it.
