This Spring Compressor Any Good????

I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier...

I know the BEST ones are a cup system with the threaded bolt through the center....however they are alot of $$ for a one or two time use.

I came across these from performance products. They are (from what I see) based on the cheap ones with the little fingers that grab the coils. Whats slightly different about these is that the units seem to completlely hook around the coil making them seem safer.

What do you think??

It will NOT work on your car ( C 43 ) NO room for this one.
You need the " Cup " style compressor, especially for the front springs.
For the back springs you don't need a compressor at all.
