[emilli230k]

I second this. If you find one, I would love to throw my #1 pads on as well!

[wichipong]

I don't have one but what I did was just drop the LCA...

Have you used it?

My friend had rented one for his W204 but wasn't able to fit it to the spring..

havent done it either... i went the no spring compressor way last time i did my suspension.. my friend borrowed an MB spring compressor when i helped him out... makes the job much cheaper...


i know there was a guy in SF trying to sell his... cant remember his name or online name...

I've tried that one from AutoZoneyears ago, did not work on W201 or W202...

The one I used on all cars was the one from Norhther Tool (for front springs only, rears were just easier w/o):

Worked great on all fronts of W201, W202 and W124, and for that price - it's a keeper...

I think I remember seeing that on craigslist or something..

Anyways, did you and your buddy ever do the suspension?

I recently bought one. Should come in a few days. I may sell it when I am through using it, though.

I'd do the same if the market for these were easy to sell!

[hvmercy]

what kind or brand did you buy?

edit: Is it this one?

It's similar to that. It comes in a red case instead, but I figure it's the same exact thing but in different packaging.

Can be done, but safety first.

Agreed...but using thr wrong style compressor an thinking your safe can be just as wrong. Just like everything in life ....pay attention an be careful.
