Anyone loaning out a spring compressor kit?
I'm planning on dropping my 430 next Saturday. I have new H&R sports and Koni/bilstein shocks to swap out as well.
I need to borrow a spring compressor kit form someone if possible. Will send back the following Monday. I also have a UPS acct.and will cover shipping both ways no prob.
PM me here or call/text me at 31six six41-zero520
Thanks guys

Gundo , Oriellys here in LA, could be another named store else where, loans them for free with a deposit. Hopefully there is one close by to you that has the same program if no one here has one

But aren't they the clamp/claw style as apposed the the plate/wedge style that is much more safe to compress the front springs on our car?
Have you used the loaners from oriellys with success on the front springs?
Thanks

Here is a place without deposit - not cheap though
Try
http://www.specialtyautotoolrentals....sort=2a&page=4
Go to the website and look for the compressor - its there. The cost per day isn't that cheap but its the correct tool with the plates and center post that goes through the spring.
They also have bearing presses for the rear/front so you don't have to remove parts to put it on a press.
Read the fine print - no deposit but you'll need a CC to rent.
