Install coilovers

I think I have made up my mind, I have been deciding weather to go with Sprint springs or coilovers. People say the coilovers will be a rougher ride but the convince of changing the highs is 2 great to give up as I plan on getting 18” in the future…

So what do I need to install these things? I have been reading on spring instillation, will I require a spring compressor for coilovers?

What else besides the coilovers will I need to pick up?

Thanx for the help guys

yes, you need spring compressors to remove your stock stuff. proper size sockets, a friend, a breaker bar, a torque wrench, possibly new dust boots (the kyb dust boots are excellent) and NEW STRUTS. your stock struts will be dead within months.

be sure to check your CV boots while you have the suspension apart, when they rip open it makes a nice greasy mess

i have ground controls and we got everything in within 3 hours...it would have been quicker but we did not have an air gun. Caution: bolts will be hard to move.
