I have a 91 gtr with hks hypermax sports. They need to be rebuit, well at least the front. does anyone know a shop or if they could be done with out special tools other than a strut compressor?

+1

also, I don't see why you really need a spring compressor since they're threaded coilovers anyways.

plus I think HKS does their rebuilds stateside now, instead of sending them overseas. don't quote me on that though.
