RCE Yellow to Tarmac Springs
 
Hi,

I’m planning on swapping out the yellows for Tarmac springs and reusing my Koni Sport dampers and Pedders top hats.

Will spring compressors be needed for this project?


Thanks!

It's easier and safer to use them then try and not use them.

I just refreshed my Tarmac + Pedders + Bilsteins and did not need spring compressors for front or rear. You should be good without them too.

But yes going to oreillys to get the compressors is good for peace of mind.

Needed no, but it would make reinstallation of pedders top nut a lot easier.

Without a compressor It is sort of an awkward job but doable.

Also please share your impressions if you notice any significant differences between the springs
