Anyone know where I can get a spring compressor? Does CT still rent them?

don't forget the exhuast springs....

anyways call them and ask .. I was there once and I asked and was told they didn't have the compressor back yet so it might be hit or miss as to whether it's available

some ct store dont rent them out anymore due to the obvious dangers of uneducated people using them... its easier to not use one in my opinion but the dangers are probably even worse for the non mechanical person.

I heard they don't even charge if you ask them to put your new shocks and springs together cause I guess so we wouldn't get hurt if they rented it to us.

True or false
