I highly doubt you will need a spring compressor, I have done many springs on these cars and never needed a compressor unless I was putting the tall stock springs back in. HTey are typically short enough to shove in.

Why are you going with drag rate shocks/struts if your just lowering it? Just curious, most people go for a sport shock with a progressive rate spring...

just talked to a buddy that is running the same spring and he says the car handles like it is on rails, just hope i can make it hook, and he said no compressior was need to put them in his car but he needs caster camber plates his car is not a fox so you guys think i will need them for my fox

I don't think they get much lower than mine and I don't have them

You're not going to need a spring compressor for those springs. I wouldn't say those are the most drag friendly springs either. List looks good though.

I think to get proper alignment you should definitely use adjustable C/C plates.

thats good, i will get the plates. as long as it can cut a 1.8-1.9 i will be happy and i will have the look i want

I also picked up a bump steer kit and purchased new control arm bushings and ball joints for the front. Mine should handle great when i'm done.
