i've actually worked on suspension before on my old car, which was an integra. I've read install articles for the wrx and it looks a bit more complicated.

My car's lowered already right now on some unknown springs, would i still need a spring compressor? On hondas, if there are aftermarket springs already on the car then the spring compressor isnt needed since its not compressed as much.

spring compressor is there for safely removing the springs. you can wrap it up in a rug and undo the bolt (not very safe )but then how will you get the new spring on there without a spring compressor.
