My son needs a front coil spring on his Renault Clio. We have a good engineer who can do it, but not sure of which compressor to buy. In the Haynes manual they state they needed a "professional one", which are very pricey.
As it is only going to be a one off ( or is it best to change both sides ?), will one of these fit ok.
Halfords - http://www.halfords.com/motoring/garage-equipment/car-tools/laser-coil-spring-compressor#tab2
or
Screwfix - http://www.screwfix.com/p/coil-spring-compressor-kit-2-piece-set/45986?cm_sp=Search-_-SearchRec-_-Area1&_requestid=5489#_=p
The reviews on the Halfords one seems good but no size is specified, while on the Screwfix one some are saying that at 250mm, they are a tad to short for some cars.
A quick reply would be very much appreciated - THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
