Is it possible to do this? I've always heard how the springs can go shooting out, but when I put coilovers in my old stealth TT, I just used a floor jack and let them down slowly. Thanks for any help.

Hi flossn,

You need spring compressor to disassemle the struts and re-use the upper strut mounts. Coilovers replace the entire strut assemble including the upper mounts. I don't think you had to disassemble the stealth TT struts to mount the coilovers. Even if you purchased new upper mounts I am not sure if you can install them without compressing the spring. Hope this helps.

you really need spring compressor when you disassemble the stock setup to get the pillow mount

Thanks guys, looks like I will be picking up a compressor!

I don't think you need a spring compressor to remove the spring and shock assembly from the car . I am taking my springs and shocks to a local shop and have them switch the parts for me then I will reinstall the complete assembly. They are only charging $10 each to do this which I think is worth it to not have to mess with the spring compressor.
