June 12, 200719 yr comment_181653 hey guys, i need to do a U-pull-it run and get some tougher springs but i need to get a spring compressor so i can don't have to buy the whole damn strut and waste my money. anybody know where to pick one up from? i might try just borrow one but if they are easy to pick up or fairly easy to just make as a shotty, one time use thing it would be much appreciated. cheers Report
June 12, 200719 yr comment_181668 super cheap , 40 bucks then we took them back and told them they didn't fit the "tractor" springs lol Report

June 12, 200719 yr comment_181708 The rear of EB Falcons are the same coil diameter as KE30/55. The chopped ones that I used to have in my car were 16mm thick wire compared to 12-13mm stock KE30/55 springs. But you will have to chop them in half to get a decent ride height (and then void any insurance yadda yadda). Then there is the stiff as all buggery ride! Alternatively, you can just get custom springs made up for $140 and keep your car roadworthy. Report
June 12, 200719 yr comment_181709 but yoinking them out falcons, can't u just drop the diff and they will fall out? or are they the front springs of falcons u put in the rear? i never looked into it, i just got king springs for 150. made more sense to me Report
June 12, 200719 yr comment_181711 Someone was kind enough to start stripping the rear of the car before i got to it. They were basically loose, so i just tied a random bit of rope to them and gave a big tug from a meter or two away. Dropping the diff/components would be the cheaper method if he didnt want to buy a spring compressor. Depending how low he is going, he may need a spring compressor to get the springs back into his Corolla anyway. Report
June 12, 200719 yr comment_181715 You actually unbolt the shockers and the swaybar then the diff drops down from memory. Been a while since I've owned a falcon (considering I grew up with them). Report
June 12, 200719 yr comment_181718 the corolla just the shockers and it will drop enough to get springs out. or if u try u can get it with them in lol Report
