anyone care to let me borrow their spring compressor?? Better yet, anyone have a garage I can work in to install the following (preferably equiped with impact wrench): struts/shocks, springs and C/C plates??? I'll buy lunch/dinner??? Let me know... [Big Grin]

Yeah.. trust me, spring compressors are garbage a pain in the ass. Just use a little elbow grease and those suckers will spring right out, literally [Big Grin]
