Default Spring Compressors

Ok, anyone know where I can buy a good set of spring compressors for a reasonable price? I did the necessary prior-to-post search, but all I find are threads asking how to do a drop. I know how to do it, I just need the tools...and I really wanna get these skunk2 coilovers out of my dining room and under my car. Thanks!

I know I have read somewhere that you can "borrow" them from places like Autozone.. and I think they give you your money back when you bring them back. That's if you don't want to shell out the money to purchase them..

Thanks for the info. I had thought these might be the places to check, but its been hot as *****, so I wasn't really wanting to go get shot down AND get heat stroke.

Autozone around here charges $80 + tax to rent them, but you get every penny back when you return them. I even kept mine for liek 5 days

Call around using your phone. If those auto parts stores don't rent it, check out tool rental businesses. I went to one to rent a ball joint/tie rod splitting tool.
