If you are just doing WRX springs, and you have air tools...

You don't need a spring compressor.

Just get an impact gun.

Auto parts store.

Depending on who you ask you dont need a spring compressor, but its safer for your sake to use one IMHO.

+1 for DPT

Davon, you need to help me install my springs so I can sport a DPT sticker.

Had Eibach sedan springs placed on my wagon at about 2K miles. Had to replace them with Apexi N1's at about 38K because the Eibach setups started becoming EXTREMELY uncomfotable... really bouncy. I think my wife would argue that it went out at about 25K

Where did you get them and how much $$$?

I need to get springs on my car and am wanting to know what else there is besides Tien and Eibach.

Springs versus Coilovers

Finally gave up on the springs and had to go with coilovers.

Apexi N1's = coilovers and I got from Soren @ MPJ Performance. You'll need to check with him for current pricing.
