Never swapped out springs before so I dont know. They look like they would work although I imagined they would cost more.

I've used those before, they aren't the best but they get the job done. Just make sure before you compress the springs that they are sitting the correct way on the compressors, and adjust as necessary. If you can get those for pretty cheap I'd say go for it, since changing springs isnt something your gonna do very often.

 

Rent the ones from Autozone or Advanced Auto...

 

ive used them before, but theyre really cheap quality wise. the first couple use they were ok, but after using it a few times, the bolt at the top came off, so i cant use them anymore. but if its going to be used once or twice, it shoule be fine. you should be able to do the swap with those.

 

what do they charge to rent? About the same as this price but probably better quality, right?

 

you pay the full price of the tool, but when you bring it back they give you a a full refund. That is what I did for a while then I bought my own set from Auto Zone for $25.

 

I've used that type of set 3 times. They work fine.

for renting a set from Auto Zone.
