New Springs Coming!

I just ordered a set of Eibach's for my '06 C2. I was just wondering if anyone knows will I need a ball joint separator to do this install myself? If so which is the right one?

I already ordered a set of spring compressors. And I think I might still have an old ball joint separator from 15 years ago I used on my Miata. I wonder if that would work.

Thanks, Derek

just spring compressor. Do you have an impact? That would help

No impact wrench. I've always worked with hand tools, though I must admit I've recently considered getting an impact wrench. I only have a pancake compressor, and don't really have much more space for something larger. If I did I probably would have bought a bigger compressor and an impact wrench by now.

Check out this compressor. It's compact and super quiet. I have one and I use it all the time for detailing and inflation. It would work on some air-tools, but not continuous use like a buffer or sander. It recharges really quickly so an impact wrench should work.
