hey guys, so like the title says i have a question about lowering springs. ive been thinkin about getting a set for my celi, but i dont have a spring compressor nor do i know someone that does. my question is this: do i have to have a spring compressor to install the springs or can i do it without one?
thanks in advance, anthony |

it's possible to install lowering springs without a spring compressor, but it will be more difficult since you have to compress the lowering spring a bit while aligning the strut mount with the shock absorber and installing the center nut at the same time. i've done it a few times already. but if you were installing the factory springs then you'd definitely need spring compressors.
