the air compressor would give me the use of air tools making the removal of the wheels easier as well as any neccesary nuts and bolts. Overall speeding the job up. A spring compressor on the other hand is not needed for this job, but i am going to get a hold of one just in case.

harrrrry

A spring compressor crunches the spring together so it doesn't BOING away (possible injuries) and popping the upper mount at you when you it take off the strut assembly.

I recently lowered my car more by adjusting the height setting on my shocks. I didn't have to take anything apart and after doing the first one, it should go faster for the rest. I had help and since there was nothing to take apart other than the assembly from my car, it took no more than 2 hours.

It'll definitely take more time to install springs because you have to move parts in and out.


good luck

Been using this more often for like emails and other kinds of registration usernames and it's barely ever taken, plus it's basically my name so it's easier to recognize
