Would anyone going to the meeting this week possibly have a set of spring compressors I could borrow to replace the stock shocks on the Integra?

thanks!

I have the kind that you need to remove and reinstall stock Honda springs (most will not work).

Want me to bring do meeting?

That would be awesome James, big thanks and a Fat Tire or two on me at Randy's.

I remember having interference issues with the other style on the Si.

Other styles should have worked on the SI given the large diameter, large gap style of the strut springs. On 88-00/01 Civics/Tegs etc, the spring diameter is pretty skinny and there are tons of coils so the gap between coils at preload is only like 1/2" so those large cast iron ones don't work since after bolting on the top hat, the compressors are locked to the assembly. I have the kind with the 'U' Bolts that can be unbolted and rotated inside the closely gapped coils so you can actually remove the compressors after you bolt on the top hat .

Sweet! I saw the link to the Wilmars in Karl's thread and those look a hell of a lot easier and quite a bit safer.
