there is nothing really holding them in....just lean down on the lower control arm, and pop the spring out. You don't need a compressor.

If you need more space to get them out you can unhook the endlinks from the sway bars to get it to drop a little more. That's what I had to do on the 2 Si's I've lowered.

I forgot about that....makes it a lot easier.

make sure to loosen the brake lines first... dont want to risk damaging those when u push down on the lca

I just had my freind put his weight on the rotor and then just pulled it out,Pull from the bottom its easier.

putting the stock springs is a B*tch!!lols... but yeah just take out the bolts from the suspension and the endlinks... to make it easier... when i was putting back my stock springs in the rear.. i used my stock jack and put it ontop the control arm and just raised it up while the whole control arm goes down...

once you take the rear stock struts out, then go ahead take the bolt off from the stock camber kit. Should come out or pop out, i didn't need to take off the endlinks off
