pfffffft you dont need a compressor.

and u cant tell how much they lower by. can kinda guess tho.

g max is usually -60 stuff.

[Stuart]

if you want to die, use a vice, if not then buy a compressor lol

[DazK]

my Gmax springs have a part No and "-30mm" stamped on then ... if there dirty clean em off maybe it reveal the the details :roll:

Did you fit your's yourself????if so how did u do it my car is sitting out the front of my how with everything removed :oops:

[Ben (lurk75)]

Use a block of wood with a hole cut in it and a bit of pressure, nova springs arent exactly that pressurised, if all goes wrong you could lose some vital organs :lol:

[DUNOVA.]

I'll have ago using a vice will post pics of my smashed up face :lol:
