No. You won't need spring compressors.
I have done it a few times without the need for them. Cheers PS. Pics of TE50 please..!

Best tool I ever bought for the job was a pneumatic ratchet. If you have one of these puppies you can do a spring swap in under 20 minutes per side. Without one, undoing the top shock mount can turn into a nightmare if you're unlucky enough to twist the flat sided top off of the shock trying to loosen the nut.
