If you have stock springs, yes, if not they will pop out and possibly injure you......

 

Yep, just go to Autozone and rent one. When I did, it was like $40, but you get all the money back when you return it.

 

you might need one, i didn't

 

I changed mine a strange but easy way, i used chains and d-clips with a thick cloth so i wouldn't damage them. just have to pull like hell though.

 

why not just cut the springs and put a new suspension on while your at it :-P

 

you can cut them and its all good.. but if not be careful bc if you try they will shoot right the hell off

 

if this your first time, then yes youll need one. you might hurt someone or yourself w/o it.

 

You don't need a spring compressor... the springs are barely compressed in a civic or integra, you should be fine

 

Get one to be safe... But I didnt use one when I did it.....

 

I didn't use them and I am still walking the planet...albeit smarter....but I am walking. I undid the upper "retainer" and the spring barely missed my face. I made a seriously huge effort on the next 3 springs. I wasn't gonna take out the spring/strut combo but I ended up taking them off of the car in order to be safe. You could probably buy a set of spring compressors for what it takes to rent them...its worth it in the long run.
