no i didnt need a spring compressor lol .installed um today, took me about 5-6 hours because i dropped a nut in the engine bay and that took me like an hour to find but yah the most important thing i needed was a heavy person to bounce on the hub hahah. 
as for the ride i had it toooooootallly slammmmmedd.!! i was tucking the rim on 17s haha lol that was fun, looked insane! no pics tho. i raised it up to just tucking the top of the tire. the ride is nice it hangs the turns like cake. and on the middle to soft setting its like a slightly harder version of stock. a lil more bumpy though and a lil bouncy when lowered. but overall good stuff!! i would recomend it to everyone for quality, performance, comfort and most of all JDM status hahaha. i will have pictures asap!!!!

i dont really know anyone else with an sc haha. but i dont see very many dropped ones tho.
i just re-adjusted the coilvers and the height so the car has about a half inch clearance about the tires and tuned the damping to almost max. and it still rides pretty smoooth but just if you hit a dip you feel it pretty hard . but as i learn more on tuning the suspension these just keep getting better and better and im out just driving just for the hell of it
i can take corners so hard now and i stay pretty flat, and very very minimal body roll.
