I'm VERY happy with my results in using my spring compressors. They're by K-D Tools, two long screws with a double hook on each end.

I think I paid $70 for them from a local auto parts store- real professionals like CarQuest, not the Autozone clowns.

One thing to note with any "normal" spring compressors- you can't fit them to 240 springs until the strut is dropped down out of the tower. I imagine this applies to most any Macpherson strut car. They all have tight space around the strut towers.

Always always always oil the studs while using them! You do not want a thread to gall with all that tension on it. Springs are powerful and can badly hurt or kill you if they slip! I had no such problems with mine. They seemed very sturdy and stable.

Good luck with it!
