Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior TRD spring installation

i just got some trd springs used for 1500 miles for 140 shipped. i was gonna get them installed since i dont have a spring compressor lying around, i was just wanted to make sure, you should take out ur front strut bar before installing them correct? because i dont wanna leave it on, and the shop charging me more b/c they had to unscrew a few bolts to take it off.
