do you have to have a spring compressor to install aftermarket springs on the s2k?, or with the right tools and mechanic know how could someone do this by themselves?
You do not need spring compressors to do the install youself, it would take about 2 hours or so if you take your time (half hour per corner)

I have the H&R also and they really do ride like stock. My only problem with them is that they are listed 0.75 drop in the front and 0.6 in the rear which is what it seemed like at first but after having them on now for about 5 months it has become more of a 1.5-1.75 drop all around.

Man, go with the H&R springs. They lower just enough to look good and IF you ever took it to the track, they work well there also. I had some H&R's but wanted to go lower and with stiffer springs. The H&R springs did work well. I autocrossed with them... Hope this helps.
