IF the lowest you can find is $250 + alignment, then I'd either rent that spring compressor, or buy a autospring leveling kit and put the daystar one on ebay for the same price as the autospring one.
Since the daystars usually cost about $130 and about $80 for the autospring, some one that wants a daystar will gladly pay $50 less for a still new product. And you wouldn't have to pay any stupid amount for someone to install it either. You could do it yourself even.

^^That's a good idea.

Pull the wheel off and look at how easy it is take the strut assembly apart. Once apart just bring it to almost ANY shop and they'll compress/remove the spring and install the autospring. You can do it with a simple wratchet set and a pair of jack stands. If I lived near you I would do it for a few beers.
