Why are you taking them off?
im going back to the oem springs. just slowly going back to oem specs. :happysad:

what are you replacing the GC's with? you only need a spring compressor if you are putting factory springs back on. me and my friend actually just use brute force and didn't need a compressor.

breaker bars are for weaklings
im replacing the GC with type r springs. so a compressor will be needed for me. i hear too many stories about that LCA bolt, so im grabbing a breaker bar just in case. im sure i'll use it again.h:
