Actually the sportlines are a 2" drop in the front and 1.75" in the rear, so that would be the lowest drop. Anyway, NO you DO NOT need a spring compressor on these cars.

I didn't need a compressor for mine. Just lower the arm as low as possible with a jack and the spring will basically fall right out, you may have to yank or kick or pry them out, but they won't shoot out at you.
