Er...kinda? I used my 18V drill (set to high torque) to get the spring copressors as far as possible...then I used my torque wrench to go the extra distance. Air tools would have eliminated the second step...but it SURE beat the HELL outta just doing it by hand. I'd like to note that my drill compressed the Teins so far that the second step wasn't needed. For those of you without air tools...this was the most time consuming part for me (that is, compressing those damned stockers!!).

Tein warrants these springs not to sag more than 5mm...or a half of a centimeter. I don't anticipate it to go much further...at least I hope not; it is in for alignment and balance right now

Yeah, not sure what is up with cardomain...apparently they are having probs right now cause I have seen people complaining a lot about it lately. You can always click on my cardomain site in my sig--"BULLMKT".

Thanks for the comments...but most of all the HELP! Don't remember me asking?? That is because I SEARCHED!

Man, me and my dad had to use a damn socket wrench! No air tools or good electric drills for us! I've got a 7.2V Craftsman, but don't have anything for it other than the screwdriver bits. It was great taking 10 min to get the strut out, then another 30-45 to compress and transfer the spring.
