1914, Spring Compressor Necessary??? Posted by phatGS, Apr-21-01 04:48 PM Is the Spring Compressor absolutely necessary for removing stock springs/struts? | |

1915, RE: Spring Compressor Necessary??? Posted by DSMRoadster, Apr-23-01 06:19 AM It's a safety net. I thought it was worth it plus it made taking apart the stock shox assembly so much easier. | |

1916, nope... Posted by JasonESi_T, Apr-23-01 08:14 AM I'm just about finished installing Ryan_RS's and have already done my own. In neither case was it necessary to use one. | |

1917, RE: nope... Posted by John99RS, Apr-23-01 10:47 AM Like Jason said....I didn't use one at all either. I just put the strut assembly on the ground, put a heavy duty blanket over it and went to town with an impact wrench. It hardly even popped...I was surprised. | |

1918, RE: nope... Posted by phatGS, Apr-23-01 01:45 PM Well, me and a friend installed my maxspeed coilovers on sunday, and didn't use a spring compressor at all. Took us about 5-6 hours (used impact wrench some for taking apart). I just wish the fronts were as easy as the rears...lol. Time for that $15 camber mod (actually, cost me 30 bucks just for the bolts, washers, and loctite for this mod, gonna do it tomorrow or next day). | |
