Do you need a compressor to install them, or can you get away without one if you lower the spring all the way before putting them on the strut.

Anyone use Koni's with GC's? I'm getting GC's but can't decide if I should stick with my Koni's or get AGX's.
Y2Kev has Ground Control/Koni combo. You can ask him. TheBlue (your neighbor) has Ground Contral/AGX. He can help you answer your GC/AGX combo and installation questions.

It is highly not recommended to play with the suspension w/o a compressor.

Buy a set of aftermarket struts (Tokico Blue, Koni or KYB AGX) and install 'em all at the same time.

Most damage you can incur from driving stock struts/ Ground Controls is that you'll need to replace the struts with a more durable one.

Actcually, bluey can't help me. He paid to have his stuff installed. I've done suspension installes before, but when I was installing Sprints I actcually didn't need a spring compressor for them, becuase they are so much shorter than the stock springs, I could compress them the little bit that I needed by hand. That's why I asked.
