Even the ones for the GM Struts? I know that I've seen is rather large and don't look like it'd be cheap or rentable...

the gm ones are nice, but if you want to rent it you will not get that, the rental ones suck, take the springs and struts to staytuned and they'll do it for like 20 bux, thats what I did

Yeah, I bought the spring compressor, and I'm taking a break between sides so I can let my air compressor catch up... Ehhh $64.99 with tax... At least now I know I have one if I need it... Tools are very valuable things to have when ya have a minimum of two cars to keep up... :thumbsup It is an interesting time though... :rolf I think I need to get me a bigger air compressor one of these days...
