guys, im sorry in advance but im potsing this for a friend.im actually selling my s13 to him after i pick up my zenkin an a week or two, and he actually purchased a set of drop springs for it and wants help putting them on. now i know that drop springs arent the greatest idea, or a good one at all w/o new struts, but offering to help him practically sold the car for me.

My problem is, i know it's a macpherson style suspension and im not sure if its even possible to change them with a coil spring compressor. any help is appreciated on this one guys, cause i wanna get rid of the s13 to make room for my new zenki

you dont need a spring compressor to put on lowered springs. You only need a spring compressor if your putting back oem springs.
