after seeing the mazdaspeed accessory strut, and when i put the s-tech spring over it i saw i needed to compress it. I worked on my interior instead.
I don't want that award, keep it :lol: :wink:

Re: Answer this quick (for the people who have switched from aftermarket springs)
haha thats funny...there actually is a way to do it on the 3 without using a spring compressor....not a very easy or safe method..but there is a method
to the OP....I take it you didnt put the pro-kit on yourself but decided to try it out with some new springs?

Re: Answer this quick (for the people who have switched from aftermarket springs)
i have changed springs my self. I installed my skunk2's that i had before but i was taking off the stock springs which required a spring compressor. To put the skunk2's on the strut we didn't need a spring compressor.
I thought about doing it without a spring compressor by taking the strut and pointing it towards the grass and taking the spring off but i was scared that the strut might pop up in the air and hit me or some shit while the top part of the strut is on the grass and spring is laying the grass and me on the floor bitching lol.

for one, you do know that just as the spring goes one way, the strut will go the other.
for two, you have any idea how much pressure that spring is under? please go rent the right tools and do the job right. rent it. use it. return it. no money spent.
