        Well I'm sure there is a tool I need to take off and put on springs, like the compressor. I'll browse the threads n see if I can learn something and get the courage to do this on my own.

          :sigh: I'm doing the same thing soon and It took me a while to get all the info I needed so might as well make someone's life easier right?

          You'll definitely need a spring compressor. Try Autozone or Orielly/Kragen.

          Came across this and this.

          Good luck.

          Your welcome.

                Yeah this isn't the section to post, BUT

                1. You should remove the strut assembly (easy) and bring the whole thing to a shop to change it. Shouldn't be much labor if they're decent guys. Trying it yourself can be dangerous if you're inexperienced.

                2. You can do the rears yourself

                  Susp on e30's is VERY easy to change. If you have any mechanical skills at all you should be solid.
