You will need a spring compressor. Or you can take them somewhere, have them compressed and get the OE dampers off. You probably won't need the spring compressed to install the GCs though.

no you dont need the compressor to get the ground control on the damper, you only need the compressor to get the stock spring off the damper, just because the stock spring is alot longer then the groundcontrol spring and its under alot of pressure.
