Spring Compressor
I've seen these on e-bay for around $200. They say they are for a 123 chassis but I thought the spring compressors for these cars were in the $700 range. Anybody know if these are any good?

These are a knockoff of the Klann spring compressor. Someone made a post about his and it worked fine.

That one is the same as the one in the rental program. It works just fine.
Consider the rental from this site if you don't need to do the job more than once or twice.........it's worth it.

I've used that same compressor for, literally, at least a dozen spring swaps. Works perfect every time. And almost identical to the one I rented from Performance Products for $80.

Would this work for the W124 springs?
Im planning to upgrade to sportline springs after all the new arms and bushings are put in.
