Default Haha, I know what you mean.

Hey, while doing my rear bearings the other day I noticed that both of the rear springs on my Koni coilovers are broken in half. Yes, in half! So I ordered a new set of STaSIS Street Sport coilovers today and they should be here in a week or so. Do you have, or know anybody that does, a spring compressor? I know I can rent those crappy ones at Autozone, but I remember the last time we replaced my suspension we used a nice hydraulic unit. I just don't remember whose that was.

If you don't have one I'll probably just see if anybody on the KC Audi group has one. All the suspension is off the car right now, I will just need to swap out the old springs/shocks from their fixtures with the new ones.

Default Would you mind if I used it?

I could either borrow it and do it myself, or I could come over and you could help me. I know you are about to have another child, so things are busy, but just let me know.

It shouldn't take too long, because I already have the rears separated from their upper mounts, so all we would have to do compress the new rears and bolt them to the upper mounts and then compress the fronts and remove from the upper mounts and then compress the new fronts and attach them to the mounts. So since everything is already removed from the car it shouldn't be too bad.
