I do have a Pep Boys nearby, wasn't aware that they loan out tools. That's actually a good option if their compressors are of professional quality.

That's very nice of you to offer to check, but I think I've made up my mind about buying the compressor in simtiaz's post. It's moderately priced and looks a bit safer. The compressor that Craftsman makes looks to be of the same design too. I shall give it a try.

Here's a link to the better looking of the two kits above. It's an online sale ending Saturday, today. Schwaben Pro-Series Spring Compressor Kit, $202.50 The ones used in simtiaz's DIY are the same as the ones that worked for me at PepBoys. Free is good when it works.

It's not too bad a job to do by yourself. I swapped out springs the night before I traded my car in to the dealer. It is possible to get the top of the strut outside the wheel well without breaking down the ball joint, I did.
If you also want more negative camber nows the time to to add camber plates. With the spring drop and a set of Tarett camber plates you should be able to get pretty close to -2.5 deg.
I'm still waiting to hear about the Eibachs or I may end up with the TechArts from SharkWerks.

Oh, didn't know Pepboys lends out for free. Thought it was for rent.
I just found this at the Pepboys website, http://www.pepboys.com/parts/tools. Yeah same tool, and free. Cool.
Now I got the tools set, all I gotta do is find something to install.
