i have the GT sport suspension and just ordered all the right parts for the front and back (four new kyb struts,no cartridges) and Tein springs... my question is... after reading the how to... is there any problem not having a spring compressor??? can this cause any real problems reassembling?? has anyone found that they NEED a spring compressor when removing and installing new springs?? not 100% sure... but since i'm putting in lowering springs... will i still need a spring compressor since they are not as high as the stock springs? i understand that there might be a little bit of pressure built up when removing them... but as the how to states... it wasn't that big of a problem... anyone that has successfully done this on their own please let me know
 and i know theres a lot of you.... thank you very much

When I was installing my coilovers we used a spring compressor on the fronts, and saw we really didn't need it, so we didn't use one on the back. It was fine.
