Unclejake Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 It is seriously hard to get spring compressors onto the front springs of these cars. I have done it seveal times with a strong ratchet tiedown and a bit of care. The best way is a threaded rod with a T on one (or is it each?) end that gets passed through the centre of the spring and into the top shock mounting hole.
