Okay so i just replaced my rear shocks. I'm saving up to do the fronts. i know with have struts up front. I have max speed coilovers (Ebay i believe) And i was wondering if anyone knows if i have to have the special tool to do the struts with these coilovers? (tool to squeeze spring). Thank you. I believe when you buy the shock it comes with the strut to right?

first thing:
We use struts, so yes when you order your front struts that is what you get.
To answer your question you will need to rent a spring compressor from your local auto parts store to get the top hat off the front shock/spring if you plan to reuse it on your new set up.

With those shit coilover sleeves, you will not need a spring compressor. The spring will be flopping around on there the second you remove the shock from the car. I DO, however, strongly recommend you replace those shit coilovers. Especially since I'm quite sure you're not getting shocks that would handle a drop or a high spring rate. Am I correct?
