Have been looking for a compressor to fit the rear springs and look at what we found.
Made the job easy. Disconnecting the sways allows everything to slide out and only requires one person.

Compressor was $250.00 shipped and included 2 sets of clamps, one for the front and one that fit the rear.

Default Eibach pro kit and Bilstein sport shocks

Had the Bilsteins on for about 6 months with the stock springs due to a problem with the first set of Eibachs sent to me. Have both on now with a further improvement in handling. Body roll is reduced but still am going to put the sport bars (S8) on when they come.
The ride is a bit stiff but not so much that I want to pull everything off. May be due to the fact that I have been ridding on the stiffer shocks for the past few now (frog in hot water).
