I installed these exact springs about a month ago. Got them on eBay for $80. The quality and fitment was better than expected for the cost.
I didn't like how the rear was lower than the front though, and this did not change after 2-3 weeks of settling. I was happy with the height of the rears though, so I just cut off 1/4 of a coil off of each end of the front springs. Sits VERY nice now and has just the tiniest amount of rake (which I think all cars should have).
**Also, I didn't use a spring compressor and don't think you need to. I just laid the strut/ spring on it's side, stood on the stock spring while loosening the top nut to release the tophat, and had the bottom of strut body up against the wall. When it finally let go it gave a good pop, but nothing flew more than a few inches and I felt zero chance of injury doing it this way.

DO the springs sit ok with it cut? I want to do that with mine but havent tried it because Im afraid it will not seat properly
