I don't know a ton about suspensions, but I did just help my kid put new springs (shorter, heavier duty) on his Celica (so as to lower his ride a bit). What I was going to add to the mix was this:

If you need a spring compressor, check with Advanced Auto Parts. They (with a refundable deposit) loaned us the spring compressor. We didn't need the ball joint removal tool, but it's possible they would have loaned it as well. I believe Auto Zone will do the same thing.

So is a coilover basically equal to a strut?
