if you're installing aftermarket lowering springs, then you don't need spring compressors.
if you're desperate, get a set from Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=3980
Sears has them as well for about 4x the cost as harbor freight:

if they're stock springs you don't need one to take stuff apart but to put the new springs on you may.
Just be safe. You can do it without it but why risk it. Go to kragen and rent some for $6.
