Ah yes the widow makers, at least that what I call them because I've seen what they can do when things go wrong. I absolutely refuse to use them unless it's my last resort.....:wooo

I've used them a few times in the past and it's some scary crap when a coil pops out

I have the set with the U hooks...

And a set that compresses the spring from the middle, which you can't use with struts for obvious reasons...

really? ive never had a problem with this kind. hell back in the day we'd use to just stand on the side of the assembly and loosen the nut till it flew across the garage

i dont see what all the hype is why ppl are so scared of those things i did my springs diff on my cars.I losen the center nut and jack the car up then losen the wheel lugs.Then take the wheel off and then the spring theres a lil tension but not,enough to kill someone.:gay
