Default Spring Compressor.
Hi guys,
I am curious as to where I could buy the correct spring compressor to do the front springs on a fox body. I know you don't need one, and I know I can probably rent one, but what is the exact compressor for the front springs?

Thanks.

works very nicely. same on that guy uses in the tech article in the 5.0 section for spring install. compressed those drag springs 6" like they were nothin. its completely external so its only those little hooks fit over the springs, tons of room to work with.
