What? Did you get hit by the spring last year?
I have only done springs on a Stang 4 times and never did use a spring compressor. Just got the car up, loosened what I needed to with thw jack under the lower control arn and slowly drop it down and pop out the spring. Easy as pie No drama at all
I could see needing one to get stock springs back in but Sportlines are so short they slip in with no problem

There is no problem cutting springs as long as you use a cut off wheel. The problems come when people try to cut springs with a torch.

actually installing drag springs are really easy for me,i just drop the control arm and leave the strut connected,installed the spring angle it right and jack the control arm up while someone maneuvers the control arm in. Took me 15mins on each side.
