Re: Coil spring question

do what i did. buy it. mine was from a speed shop here near me and wasnt cheap but much better quality then autozones and such. i cut mine down 4 inches and it works perfectly. the internal compressor is what i think is the only safe way to to the front springs. GM's way i dont trust.

Re: Coil spring question

I just use the a-arms as the compressor.
Obviously we're talking about the front springs? Rears don't need a compressor.
