the 4cyl springs are more for the track. but the spring install is super easy once you do it once. the fronts are the hardest. just make sure your brake caliper doesnt get hung up or snagged when you lower the jack. hang it from somewhere and take off the ABS sensor bracket and sensor.

you def do NOT need a spring compressor for the rear springs. you will need one for the front if you don't have any patience. My front springs just required a nice sized pry-bar and they slid right in.

yea i didnt use a spring compressor at all. the fronts were a bitch though. i also used a pry bar and had to not put on my bottom isolator for them to slide in. if i kept it on it would go on smoothly. this is with steeda sports. not much of a drop but anough for me.
