so i dont need to compress the spring before i put on the 01 bearing and upper mount? It seems kinda loose ( i am trying to drop it quite a bit, is that the reason it looks so loose?)

Rep Power: 388 There is a DIY from Mex in this forum. Use the search feature and search for the user Mex in just the suspension form. There is a little video of how he has done it.

Rep Power: 410 Full coilovers shouldn't require a spring compressor, but if you're getting Tein SPRINGS (not full coilover i.e. Tein Basic, Tein Flex, Tein SS), then it is recommended you use a spring compressor, but not necessarily a "must have."

Rep Power: 280 ^^^^ yeah I've never installed coilovers so It might not be needed. But this spring compressor thing helped when I replaced my friends shocks.

Rep Power: 257 If you are doing a full coilover setup, you should not need a compressor. You will pull your stock setup out and replace it with the full coilovers. No need to take the factory springs off of the oem shocks.
