KONI Yellows: seeking spring compressor recommendations

kenchan · 01-11-2012, 02:19 PM

next time around i would get something like this:

MacPherson Strut Coil Spring Compressor Set

opposed to something like i currently have. you can see that the blocky rectangular
shoulder on the opposite side of the coil holder curve can get in the way between
the coils.

make sure to wear safety goggles and work gloves. be safe!

Since you have eibach springs, I would use the first one Kenchan posted. Otherwise you will have a hard time getting the compressor on and off the spring.

Ken, I just bought the blocky one before I read this thread for my upcoming Koni install on the 5.0. Hopefully it works out... I'm going to use the floor jack under the lower control arm method to remove the factory strut... just need the compressor to fit the hat over the new springs.

I used these for my Swift install on the stock dampers. I had no probs what so ever.
