no, you don't need a spring compressor.
you need spanner wrenches and your own 2 hands.
and you installed 2 front pairs of MR's? wtf? two fronts wouldn't bolt up to the rear uprights.

to adjust ride height, loosen the lower locking perch at the shock bracket, then twist the shock body (spring and all) to lower/raise the ride height.

"mature the coilover spring install"
huh?
you need to reword your post or something.

search man, search!

Thanks or the reply.
I installed all four over the span of one week due to time shortage.

Can I do the steps you told me with the c/o on the car or should I get them off?
