Spenser, I bought a set of spring compressors to do my struts. I had no idea you were experienced with this. When can you come over and do mine?
JK, but those things are always scary to me.

It looks like you have my twin there, Rovert. You can see me being devoured by my Z4M roadster in Interlagos blue in my avatar. If this one yours?

My H&R springs are short enough that I can get them on the struts without a compressor... I have one person pushing down on the top hat while I screw the nut on... My old springs, I took to a buddies shop to get the springs off.... I'm not messing with those compressors from autozone

I was doing this solo, which was probably the issue. I really like Nate’s technique of breaking the top hat free from the strut, and slowly releasing the strut from underneath with a floor jack. That of course doesn’t help with reassembly.Originally Posted by Sockethead

You can do it for reassembly too, just not with the stock springs. They too long.

Just got a new OEM battery yesterday and installed, turns out my battery was a year within warranty so they’re sending it to BMW to officiate the warranty before I get my money back
