saves you like 200 dollars though not everyone is lazy  and its not complicated
and if you pull the struts out the hard part is done, compress the springs undo one nut and replace the spring
|
If you're saying it'd cost $200 to change front springs then you're a sucker. If you can compress the spring and remove the top nut, then it is easy.
But sometimes a life of preload and the initial assembly torque means the shock shaft nut is difficult to remove. If you can't get purchase on the shock shaft to stop it rotating you've got pretty much no hope of getting that nut off without a rattlegun.
Last time I did it I dropped the removed struts at the shop with the new springs, walked over to the bottle shop, walked back and swapped a set of re-springed struts in exchange for a 6 pack. Not even any special 6 pack, just VB
