Coilover installation on a V8V

Hey guys, I am going to be installing my new BC Racing (w/ Swift springs) coilovers this weekend and I just wanted to get confirmation if a spring compressor is needed to drop the factory coilover assembly? I know typically it is only needed for a spring swap but usually not required when swapping out the whole coil/strut assembly all together. I’ve done a handful of coilover installations on previous cars but this is my first project for the Aston!

Self contained unit. No compressor is required for removing or installing.

The entire coilover unit comes out as one assembly, and the new one goes in the same.
Much appreciated guys, thanks for the conformation!
