Coilovers

about to install coilovers in my 2009 lnf sedan few questions ; one will I need to roll fenders in order to get the full 3" drop ? I have 045 msr wheels can't quite remember what the offset is but they're 18s and also will I need a spring compressor to take off my old struts and what not ?? The coilovers do not come with new top hats or top strut nuts

You're better off replacing with new parts.
