you dont need one... its pretty basic. Take the rim off..and just spend a couple minutes and look at what you would have to unbolt. You may need a spring compressor just to get the stock springs out.

Well, if you're installing full coilovers then you just take out the stock suspension as one piece and put the coilover setup in. But if it's something like a coilover sleeve that you have to install over a seperate shock, then you will need a spring compressor......just depends.

I dont even bother w/ a compressor. I just stand on the shock and spring and then undo the top hat nut. You get a good rush right before it pops, but nutin really comes flying off.
