You need a spring compressor unless your name is Maven

Good luck. Its a pretty simple install. You can have both struts off the car in under 10 minutes.

I am sure if you brought the fronts to a shop it wouldnt cost much for them to swap out the springs for you.

My local Harbor Freight has 1 in stock.
They have the older style that use's 2 threaded rods on sale for $9.99 in their flyer

Some auto supply stores have a loan a tool program.
Call Auto Zone or any of the chain stores and find out if they loan tools.
Tell them you have the lowering springs and just need the tool.
They make you put the list price on your credit card and them give you a credit when you return the tool.
I did it for a scan tool before I picked one up.

I will be getting the Harbor Freight one when I get back from the IRL race in St. Pete
