    Purchased this set off Amazon for like 84 shipped and i will say they are the absolute best and safest feeling compressor set that i have used. Bolt is stout and fork cups bolt on to main shaft and fork cups also have grooves the coils lay in. Pressed the medium load dobinsons coils on my third gen with so much ease to slide billys in. I felt very safe the whole time. Coils stayed almost straight with very little bow. A+++
    I recommend these over any of the clamp styles you can rent!!

    I'm going to need one of these soon for some 6112s. Thank you

    Update:

    I was not able to make this spring compressor work, the Bilstein 6112s have a very large diameter shock body and would rub the jaws (compressor jaws). I tried both the small and medium jaws with no success. I can see where this compressor would work very well on smaller diameter shocks but for 6112s they are a no-go.

    Used the no compressor spring method, took about 10min.
