Coilovers spring question!

This is a two part question:
Does anyone have experience with Function and Form type 1 coilovers? and does anyone know where I can rent a spring compressor? Shops charge up the *** for coilover installs, and watching some videos on youtube, it seems all I need is a socket set, jack, jack stands, and some time. I found brand new type 1's on ebay for about $550. So yes, $500-$600 is my price range.

The tool you need to remove the spring is only 50 dollars.
Amazon Amazon

I cant really say how well the coilovers are, but i have yet to read anything seriously negative about them.

Just out of curiosity, how much did the shop quote you for an install?
