Re: first time doing struts.
you need a spring compressor to do it the right way and safe way. orrrr you could be like everybody else with a honda and just rig/cut corners on EVERYTHING you do to your car...best of luck!

Re: first time doing struts.
the right way and the safest way would actually be using a press type spring compressor, not the autozone spring compressor. those compressors and slip off.
