I can make my own...but I have the cash to buy a set and I dont want to end up as a zombie nor does anyone else in the garage, but not sure whos to purchase that will work for the smaller import springs?

 

I have the BluePoints from SnapOn...

Has fit everything so far, removed my stock 94 Integras with them, [not needed for the adjustable coil overs I installed. 94

 

I like the ones with the lower profile fingers. The thinner fingers insert into the coils easier and allow more compression before going static.

I'd shop around for a rental that has that feature. A rental would be a better idea since spring replacement jobs are pretty rare.

 

^^^ This.


I rented one from Advanced Auto for free when I did my shocks and springs. Call around to some local parts stores. They often rent these items for free.

 

We don't need a spring compressor for our cars. Remove upper shock shaft nut(s) above the "top hat", lift car off the ground, and the spring is free to remove. To compress springs for install, lower the car onto them, guide the shock shaft back into the upper mount, and install shock shaft nut(s).

To make a little more room to work, turn the steering wheel all the way to one side first.
