Not really. The 5th gen springs come out without having to compress them and the new ones shouldn't need to be compressed to tighten the nut. Youtube the video or go into the tech section of the forums. I didn't have to use a compressor whenever I did my springs.

I didn't need a spring compressor to remove mine. Just one more confirming. Still, don't be dumb by pointing the compressed end towards others while loosening the nut.

Like they said, you don't need one. It is a pretty easy job.
