Default Quick Suspension question (PSS9) - do I need a

Spring compressor to remove the stock suspension?

Going from stock to PSS9's - do I need any special hats or camber plates?

stock suspension unbolts as 'units', no compressor needed...unless you plan on reusing old parts, no compressors.
Loosen the inner LCA bushing bolts, toe-link and rear dogbones to allow suspension to relax and give room to remove the old coilovers/struts..need to do this anyway to reset bushing position after lowering

Cool - thank you 993GT - was not sure if they were Units or just pressed against the underside

I've never been able to withdraw the stock front struts from the car without a spring compressor. The front axle significantly limits drop of the wheel carrier. Auto parts stores let you rent them compressors for free.
