Was wondering if anyone local has a spring compressor.
I got my h&r springs still on the front shocks, the shocks are
off the car. I was wondering if I can swing by and take the
springs outta the shocks!

Willing to pay down some money for your time,
thanks! I'm in San Jose.

Thanks

Autozone sells them for like $30.

If you don't mind driving out to my house (Oakley, like 1hr 20min away) I'll do it for you. I'll be around Sat morning and all day Sunday

Autozone rents them out for free, atleast they did about 3 years ago when I did springs on my buddys car.

You can still get them from free from autozone, they charge a 50 dollar deposit, and then when you return the compressor, they refund the 50 dollars. I do believe Napa Auto Parts and Pep Boys also offer this service.

You shouldn't need to compress the lowering springs. Just loosen the nut on the top and with an impact gun and you should be good to go.
