True, both of mine are snapped off, still roll all day on em though

Of course it's worth it. Not only will your car look better but it won't handle like a stock FWD car anymore, and those are the worst kind. You're going to want to avoid potholes from now on though.

lol they snapped so you just gave up on getting the stuts out?

Yeah I gave up, I was putting them on in a parking lot and it was getting dark. Still holding strong after a year or so of riding hard.

Re:Installing Coil overs...

Dont need a spring compressor at all

Ive done it between 2 tires, they easily take the pressure

Ive done it by just holding the spring with my foot, it doesnt have as much force as everyone says

But now for the bolts on my Crx, Im going to have to take it to a shop, the rear pass LCA bolt is completely stripped
