Do I need a spring compressor to re-install the stock suspension?

Yes sir if you are on drop springs. If you used the top hats off of your stock suspension on coilovers then yes sir to that too.

I have BC coilovers right now but trying to get rid of it but having trouble install the stock one because I guess the springs decompressed.

No they don't try a little harder to line them top mount in the hole and make sure you take out the correct bolt on the lowwer arm and you be set. Took me and a friend a 1hr 1/2 to take my coil out and put the stock back on with no problem.

So you didn't compress the oem spring at all to put the tophat back on? Never seen that before on any car

So I have remove a bolt on the lower arm and then push the shocks up to align it in the hole?

o my bad misread that you are on bcr. You don't need a spring compressor. Remove the lower 19mm bolt and the 14mm top bolts and pop them out.

Nope. Spring compressors are only needed when you take apart the assembly (specifically the spring). In your case you're simply swapping the the spring and shock assembly as a whole as opposed to the spring. You're looking at literally a few bolts just to swap it. Good luck! And always make sure all your bolts are on tight!
