You need a spring compressor to do it in the S.

Super easy....I'd say come to tech day...but I'm not sure about how much time there is to spare at this point. It takes 2-3 hours, but if there are people at each corner, could take less than 45 Minutes.

You DO need a compressor to take off the old springs, but not to put on the new ones.

I doubt I'll have any mods for my car for tech day...so can give a hand if need be. I've never done the S before, but I have done it on my Audi a few times.

Cubby is the spring master. He did mine like it was second nature. Not one problem during the install or since.
