You need spring compressors. Did you buy sport shocks to go with them?

You can pay me to install them too.

Air tools, while not a must, are extremely helpful.

I didn't buy the shocks , I have a low budget :( the opportunity to buy the springs show up so I didn't let it go:nice:

If you use those springs with new, or nearly new, OE shocks, the shocks won't last long (perhaps only a few thousand miles). If the shocks on the car are OE or equal and have 60k or more on them, they are already blown out. Best to hang onto the springs until you have the funds for a set of Bilstein Sport shocks.

I was reading the info on the Bilstein shocks and the prices !!

Can I still use the springs with the OE shocks and when they get bad replace them with the Bilstein? Thanks..

Are your OE shocks new, or only have a few thou on them? You can use those springs with the shocks that you have, but note what I said about the life of OE shocks (new and used).
