That'll work. I didn't even need a spring compressor though.

that looks like it

and actually with lower springs you might not even need the compressor. I remember a while ago when installing shocks in my car, some of hte springs didn't need the compressor to be put back on the car

but better to have it

And also a 2011 Ralliart

and you can rent those at autozone and just pay a deposit and get it back after you return it.

cool, that pic is from the autozone website. I would rather have it while installing the springs incase I need it rather than having to bum a ride to the nearest autozone

Trust me you need those to take off your old springs!!! But that is the right tool for the job. Yes it is very true you might not need it to put you new springs on but you gotta use that bitch to get the stock ones off. I didn't have to use it to put my Skunk2 coilovers on, just had to use it to take my old shit off.

A pair of locking pliers would come in handy.

Tenzo 1.5" springs

Ewww...locking pliars. Be very carful with those if you use them. You can f*uck your strut up....don't ask.

Yep! thats exactly how I fukked up my strut (I was too ashamed to admit it before though)
I had pushed the boot up as far as it would go before I clamped down but guess it wasn't good enough.... There should be a better way to hold the piston other than that little thing at the top. After you've back the nut off that far, what else can you do?

I have to ask, why would one of those be useful and how can you fuck up your strut with it

the teeth from a set of vise grips will scratch up the strut and puncture the seal in the strut body. when i take struts apart i take a towel and fold it over and put it inside my vise grips so about three layers of towel protect the shock shaft(hehehe, i said shaft) and doesn't f@#k it up.
