Looking to buy and install Dpec's with tenzo's. Need a spring compressor to do so though. So if i purchase this will it work? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=3980 or should i just go ahead and buy this? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=43753

don't even need one use the weight of your car to compress the spring.on the front loosen the big nut on the strut holding it to the mount .take nut off then jack the car up this will slowly release the tension. and the rears can be done by taking the strut out of the car and pushing down on it while someone undoes the mount bolt.

If you have an Autozone or Advanced you can borrow the tool, they'll charge you for it, and you'll be refunded upon returning it.

That's what I always do, though the hassle of doing this the 10 times I have makes me think I should've just bought the damn thing the first time.
