I need new rear struts on my SVT. I can't find any pre-assembled struts and springs ANYWHERE! eBay doesn't even have them. Does anyone know where I can get them if possible!?

Nobody sells pre assembled struts and springs unless you get coil overs.

Its not that hard to do them...just rent a spring compressor from your local auto parts store.

They actually make a combo called a "quick strut" that has a new spring, strut, and mount assembled ready to install. I believe they are made by Monroe. The selection is limited and I doubt they would have anything for a csvt.
Like others have suggested rent or purchase a good spring compressor and have at it. Just be careful! I'm sure a shop with a nice stand up spring compressor unit would swap things over for you cheap. Sometimes those springs can be a little scary

SVT's have different springs from other Tours it is part of the SVT upgrade. I doubt there would be enough of a market for anyone to do a pre assembled unit. The Harbor Freight compressors will do about one complete Tour front & rears. I wouldn't use them after that.
