    Those auto part store coil compressors were terrible. They worked and no-one died but I stepped far away when he started loosening it. We need a wall compresser for those.

    Haha, no kidding. When we did Spruce's we used a set from the auto parts store. When those bolts started to bow I, all casual-like, put Rick between myself and the coilover and used him as a meat shield. :D

    Don't be a sissy. Guys if you set them up right they won't bend and you go in equal amounts

    Were they preassembled with new springs or something? If so that's an easy job. If you gotta compress the existing coil spring to install a new damper, that's when things get sketchy.

    Haha, well, I guess if I ever need to do mine, I'm bringing them to you to do since you're apparently the expert. :D

    I left my top hats in, loosened the shock from the top hats and lowered the lower control arm. Then bolted the new shock and coils onto the lower control arm, with a jack I raised the LCA and guided the shock through the top hat and bolted the shock on.
