no.. but if youre still riding on stock springs you need the compressor to take those off initially. Get a alignment after install. Re: do i need a spring compressor to install my coilovers? yeah if you still got the stock springs on then you’ll need a spring compressor.

The No Spring Compressor Method is a way of disassembling your shock assembly (or coilover) without the use of a spring compressor tool. However, if you need to take the shock and spring apart, then you’ll either need spring compressors or you can perform the No Spring Compressor Method.

putting a new aftermarket lowering spring on or off doesnt require a spring compressor because the spring is not preloaded much.

The process is not difficult, so anyone with garage access and a little know-how can accomplish this modification. Since lowering springs are designed to work with your existing factory suspension, they can simply replace your coil springs.

Re: How much should Eibach springs cost to install? ~ $150 – $250 depending upon where you go.

Yes, you will need an alignment after replacing springs – especially lowering springs. This is because to replace car springs, you need to first remove the shocks from the suspension system. And while doing so, you will work with many other suspension components like caster / camber plate that can cause misalignment.

Using just lowering springs is a bad idea. It will wear out the OEM shocks because the shocks will have to compress much more to absorb bumps. It’s logical; the spring is shorter and therefore the shock has to travel more when you hit [any] bump.

The actual price will vary depending on your vehicle, location, type of spring replaced and whether you need additional services. Labor costs typically range between $133 and $168, while you may spend $217 to $254 for the parts.

takes about 4-6 hours on the parking lot and 2-3 hours on the lift.

Poorly done or extreme lowering can cause suspension and steering parts to contact each other, the wheels or the tires. It could also cause tires to rub the body during turns or going over bumps.

Eibach lowering spring install cost $400 – CAMARO6.

It’ll range from $200-$500 depending on the complexity and what came with the coil overs and if they’re already pre-assembled. HUGE difference in the amount of labor involved. That and it’ll take another $100-$200 for proper alignment. suspension is an easy install.

The average total cost to replace a pair of shocks will run about $250 to $580. An individual shock absorber will cost around $50 to $140 so parts alone will set you back between $100 and $280. A couple hours of labor to do the job is an additional $150 to $300.
