Is it hard to put stock springs back on?!?

Hey, I think I am putting my car back to stock and I was wondering If it was hard to put the stock springs back on since it was a bi*** to put them on without clamps. Do I even need clamps to put them back on? Let me know what you guys think.

i never used clamps to put on my s-techs and that install went easily. i dont see y putting stock springs on would be a hassle!

i put me eibach sportlines on by hand. there is no way youll compress stockers by hand enough to get the caps on. go rent some compressors from autozone and take them back when youre done. not worth a shattered face when it goes wrong.

you can get the spring compressors for free from autozone. you pay a refundable $20 deposit or something like that. not worth the chance of hurting yourself when it's free tools.
