Im thinking about changing the shocks on my teg and was wondering since I have coilovers will I need a spring compressor to change the shocks? Im thinking no but wanted to ask the experts. Is this a do able project with just basic hand tools?

Thanks in advance, as alwayz...

P.S. Also will I need an alignment after?

 

You shouldn't need a spring compressor with coilovers. The top hat should not be under tension when you loosen the locking nut.

Always get an alignment after you are done, especially with coilovers. You might end up tweaking the ride height a bit and should have it checked with an alignment...that is the "right" way to do it.

Kewl, Anybody know a good site that shows this procedure?
