    Good luck in Japan. Enjoy the weather there... not much different than here!

    I didn't try the ratchet strap thing. I bought these spring compressors and found that the claws wouldn't fit in between the thick coils so I grounded them down to fit. They work for making coilover adjustments but I wouldn't try to replace springs with them.

    I've done the ratchet strap method before but that was for an Acura my buddy was lowering, not putting 700lb springs on.

    I tried a setup like @JDAM had and like he said, it wouldn't fit between the body of the strut and the coil.

    My buddy had one that had little rings instead of hooks that worked really well, but I have never been able to find those.

    Last time I did mine I just took them to TorFab where they have a Branick wall mounted compressor. Makes quick, easy work of it. I imagine if you go up there for work ever you could arrange to have them done while you waited.

    @northwesttaco seems to have quite the report with Mule. Maybe he could get them done there for a good price.

    At $125 an hour since I didn't get the springs through them :thumbdown:, I'd rather do it myself.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Easiest way to replace coil springs or coilovers. I've used this method at least 7-8 times now with no issues.

    *Just mark your LCA alignment cams to get them back in spec after install*

    :notsure: but I don't think that works for adjustable coils where the coil is part of the shock/strut assembly and not 2 separate pieces as shown in the video.
