Post installing coilover question...

hey this is my first and will be many questions in the future...well i recently bought coilovers for the first time and im very excited to see what the difference in handling will be so......my question is do i need to rent a spring compression to take out the stock suspension or can i just disassembly without the tool??? i rele need true feedback for this installation cause i dont want to create a mess for myself. many people are telling me i can but then others tell me i cant...so thanx and if someone can responmd back to me that would be wonderful.....have a good day!!!

if you want the job to be as headache free as possible i would get the right tools for it. if you were doing a full suspension upgrade, you could get away without it, but for coilovers only i would.

Having the right tools = Easy (well a little bit more easy) job

I was over at my parents house and was fixing the tib, forgot to bring my metric set. Using a cresent for the whole job sucked ass (my Dad only has std.)
