Default Struts and springs '01 s40

Is it possible to purchase rear and/or front struts with the springs already installed? I want to replace them myself and I'd rather not compress the springs. I would be easier if I could purchase as a one-piece unit.

If you can point me to a website or supplier, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

I've never seen everything together sold as one unit. The pictures of the coilover kits show springs installed although I have never dealt with them so couldn't tell you how to mount them.

If you are really serious then you could purchase all the parts that make up the struts and then have them put together for you. It's going to cost quite a bit more than a simple strut replacement with the cost of new springs added. Plus the little bits that are normally reused.

You have a friend with a strut spring compressor tool and an impact wrench? Maybe a few beers would get what you need allot cheaper.
