    Yep, or you can borrow mine. You need them for the front, everyone claims you dont need them for the back. Its true, but I always felt far more comfortable with them on anyway.

    thanks, I won't need them until after Christmas cause I have to wait and open my gift then :( I always try and act surprised though.

    I have heard of someone changing their springs with a jack and a 2x4. I thought it was pretty crazy, not to mention dangerous. Make sure you go to Pep Boys, Advanced wouldn't let me rent them.

    NAPA also rents them free with a deposit.

    You can go without the compressor and try to shoot things when the spring pops off. Just don't shoot yourself. It might hurt a little.
