I'm a little confused; you only need spring compressors to remove existing springs. So, if you're replacing top mounts from standard struts, yes, you'll need to compress the springs. Same as if you're fitting lowered springs to existing struts, you'll need to remove the old ones, and fit the new ones on.
As for coilovers or a second set of struts for example, if they have top mounts already, there'll be no need to compress anything?
Does that answer your questions...?
