Greenpsycho...I have a OZ so I guess there is nothing else to worry about....super cool

I have my own spring compressor...got it off ebay for like $20...its damn simple and ghetto but it gets the job done

do i have to have a impact wrench...never needed it for anything before...i got this wicked super long 1/2" drive breaker bar...its craftsman of course

you need impact wrentch because when you use the hand tool to take the upper piller out, it just spins itself!! i don't think you will need it for rear ones!! goond thing about the nex coilovers are they come with upper piller so just plug and drive ^^

exactly.

i tried to use a breaker bar on the fronts, but it just spun, but the impact wrench does it no problem. home depot rents electric ones i believe, check them out, or i think someone mentioned they picked up a harbor freight electric one for like 40 bucks. and trust me, its worth every penny

there is also a specialty tool that you can get to take the strut spring assembly apart... but impact is much easier plus you have the tool for later use

im not forsure what it exactly is... i called up the dealership and asked them and they said yeah you could use a specialty tool, we normally use a impact gun here. So i went and bought a impact gun from harbor freight... excuses to get new toys haha.
