Yes to get stock springs off. If youre doing coilovers, no...since youll be replacing the whole shock/spring unit.

How did you do that?
On most coilover sets you will need to recycle the top hats, so you would need a spring compressor.
No biggie though, they are cheap and easy.

I did it without compressors. I just took a t-shirt and wound it tightly around the spring getting as tight as possible. It didn't "pop" all that much. I would suggest a compressor for safetly but if you know what you're doing, they aren't required like in other cars...
