I want to put some lowering springs on and I know that for the front springs I need a spring compressing tool or something. How much are these and where is the best place to obtain one? Can you get em in halfords?

lol, im gonna do the same thing, and i came up with an idea today, why dont we lower the car down over the springs and shocks, then the weight of the car will compress the springs, the shock comes up thrugh the turrent, and robs your dads brother.

?19.99 for two spring compressors from Halfords, decent ones aswell, ive used some that looked like they were about to slip off! Dont fancy a spring coming towards my head with full force!
