Hi I have a Craftsman gift certificate. What would be the best spring compressor to get to install a pro kit or coil overs in the future?

Thanks.

 

no compressor needed for coilovers.

And if you live a bit dangerously you could just borrow the one from autozone if doing springs. I did my scion that way and lived to talk about it!

 

i did 3 IS 350's on those and i never want to do it again

 

I've got the ones that say strut compressors and they work ok. You can even use them for the rears. I don't remember where I bought them for but it was way cheaper than $60.

 

you can rent a set at autozone!!!

 

how much is the rent?

 

Free. You put a deposit down and they return the deposit to your card when you return the tool.

One time I rented this big socket (for a cam or something), threw it in my toolbox and promptly forgot about it. I took it back like 2 years later simply out of guilt and they returned my money!

 

When I install the swift springs on my Evo I rent the string compressor from Kragen Auto. It works fine for me.

$8 dollar a day for rental.

 

you can get a set from harbor freight cheap.
