Yeah, spring compressor, But if you change down to low springs, you won't need one . .. (to install the new spring) .. but removing the oil spring, you MUST use one .
Otherwise You will get the end nut from the shock flying 200mtrs away . |

Cable ties guys..
Much easier to thread through compressed coils..  No no no.
A set of compressors is the way, I've seen wire slide on the coils jamming fingers (ouch). Not me BTW..

MRE-40L will change ur front springs without a compressor
Generally while he's doing this I move around to the front of the house for shelter.

The car is a good spring compressor, undo the nut while the car is still on ground. Easy.
