Default Am I going to need any specific tools for a strut install?

Hi everybody, first off i would like to thank anybody to take the time to help me out, or even read this thread.
My problem is the struts on my 1991 civic dx are shot, so i bought a couple from a local parts shop. I don't have money to get them installed, so i have to do it myself. Am i going to need a spring compressor?
Thanks everybody
Dillon

You dont "need" a spring compressor. I have done it a couple times without one, Just be careful when you do it, a friend might be needed to get the springs back on though.
