Just an update, i purchased the Scangrip, it was pricey, but it was well built, and i felt safe using it. I changed both sets of springs on both cars, within a day, and it worked really great, and i want to add this bit, which i think is really important, this is the first time i have ever changed springs and struts, mechanical engineering work is not my field (as you can tell), or even something that i have been doing for a while, so it was very "user-friendly".
As i said, while it was pricey, and there were certainly cheaper ones available, i looked at it, in the manner that, overall i'm saving. For me to pay someone to do the two jobs, it would have costed me around $800, plus the parts. So i figured, while it was pricier than i would have liked to spend, i certainly value and like my health a lot more, and in the end i did spend less that i would have, had i gone the route of paying someone to do it.
Hope this helps
