zenetti 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 For $140 you can't go wrong, we have the same unit at work and use it most if the time, heaps quicker than using the wall mounted unit. Can be a bit fiddly to pull the spring down evenly - wwhich is where the wall mounted unit kills it. As I said though $140 = BARGAIN! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Looks like a deal. Although, obviously it only works on macpherson struts, so you still need something for ryour trailing arm rears if you can't just pull them out. I swapped a set of the small, cheap ones that you can use on the car for an e30 torque converter. (Retail around $50) Does the trick, and hook them up to my rattle gun and I can have springs out in a few miinutes. What you are looking at looks good, just giving you some options though.

bravo 35 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Yup, but cheap, esp. if just doing your own car and your mates - not exactly lots of use. Edited October 17, 2007 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
