#30615, "RE: Lowering Spring Install HELP?!" In response to In response to 6
I'll have to go home and take pictures of my spring compressor. My uncle made it out of all thread and some plate steel 15ish years ago whenever my parents bought their 2nd fwd car. At the time you couldn't rent a spring compressor and the ones you could buy were $800 or so.
Everyone who has seen it in action swears I am going to die when a spring comes off of it. Do like these people said, rent one of the safe ones. Even then you must be careful because things do break and stuff can go wrong.
