I'm thinking of getting my old floor jack, and jack stands back from ages ago and replacing my own struts with this kit from FCP (used to be grotton, right?)

I expect it would take me about a day, but I like the whole concept of not using a spring compressor. (there is another brand on ebay and amazon which is "unity automotive"
car is near 150K miles and I expect to have it about 30 more months. the alternative plan is to just suck it up and pay for the whole thing mostly because I had a friend in HS end up with a compound fracture working with a spring compressor and I just don't want to use one.
so, anyone use have experience with them? the unity automotive ones seem too cheap to be any sort of quality.
