Default lowering springs on my 2003 accord ex

I bought these lowering springs for my car and should be in by this weeek.
buyloweringsprings com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2&products
my friend is doing the install. And yes i am just going to use these springs to replace the factory springs. He told me i needed some sort of clip to buy to hold down the springs. I have no idea what he is talking about. Does anybody kno what is he talking about? or is the springs all i need?

I think hes talking about spring compressors that you can rent. They usually consists of 2 identical looking tools- (2 long bolts with arms to grab the spring at either end) that compresses the spring for easier removal.

You will need to rent a spring compressor (usually free from a parts store, with deposit) to compress the spring, there's no other way to do it.

As far as a clip to hold the spring... do you really trust this guy to work on your car? I've done 3 Accord suspensions and have never once heard of a magical clip...

Question

I'm agreeing with Finch on this also..
Have done to many Coil-Over and Lowering Spring deals to even think about and have never seen such a thing...
