Only thing is in the front id just remove the whole strut but that method works too, I did it that way the first time.

Princess auto has a good set of spring compressers for 25 bucks

Bring it to your mechanic...
You'll need an aligment anyway...

i picked up those compressors from PA, work great for me.

lol i picked them up today as well for $25 it looks like a solid compressor too. I want to do most of the work on the car by myself.
