Good quality, easy to use

By spending $85 on this I saved $450 in labor costs to lower my mustang. Great deal.

Big and Sturdy. Much better than the loaner tools available locally.

I used this to do front springs on a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix. First, it probably weighs 25lbs with cups attached. A strut assembly with this in place is rather heavy. It's huge compared to the small loaners, just look. I applied grease on the threaded rod very liberally. The outside shaft galled a tiny bit of the black off at full compress. You can lube there, but it will be messier. I used a ratchet to crank this down with near abandon in 40 degrees. Taking two springs off went fast, maybe a half hour. I'd recommend this if, like me, you are afraid of those little ones leading to injury. Just holding this gave me enough confidence I could do it at home and not have to pay a shop.

Works on E90s (standard and sport)

This works with an E90 335i M-Sport and with standard non-sport suspension. Watch the Bav Auto video on YouTube for how to use it and you'll be just fine. It makes changing the struts much less stressful. You'll be happy you got it compared to a two piece compressor. The supplied bolts are soft. Go to the hardware store and buy some grade 10s as others have suggested.

Great tool

The only thing I didn't like was the blue case it came in, was expecting the red case shown in the picture. Besides that, everything worked great. Thanks.

Heavy duty, Works well.

This kit is well made and heavy duty. When it arrived it was much heavier than I expected - solid and strong. I have used it to rebuild/replace the struts on a VW New Beetle and Jetta and it worked well. It grips the springs firmly. Easily turned with a ratchet wrench. Much safer than my old 'open screw and hook' type spring compressor. Quicker and less hassle than bringing the struts to a shop. It has already 'paid for itself'. Be sure to grease the screw mechanism before use.

Five Stars

Awesome product for the price
