Hi, I would like to replace my front struts on my '93 LX and the manual says I need to use a special coil spring compressor. I've found the part they reccommend but it's $300. Its different from the standard coil spring compressors as this one has a pair of flat circular plates that do the compressing as opposed to the $39 hook type. Has anyone done one of these jobs w/o using a $300 part and how did it go?.
thx
