Spring compressor tool

Jojogunne · September 1st, 2008, 08:55 PM

Could someone send me a picture or part # for the tool they use to change their front springs with.

I have changed my springs and the tool I use works barely. I am trying to get my car set up for the strip.

on a fox, the front spring "tool" i use especially once you lower the car is a pry bar... unbolt the c/c plate or upper strut bolt, unbolt the swaybar mount and the control arm will lower enough to get springs (anything shorter than stock) out

you can get the spring out without the tool.

How do you get it back in? Which tool?

Thanks for you input,

I used the crowbar. With out a lift is was quite difficult. I wouldn't recommend that method for Eibach Drag Launch Springs .... I WOULD NOT recommend those springs anyway. Those were the ones I replaced with springs from a 4cyl. and I had to cut one coil to get the car to sit properly.
