does anyone know of a manufacturer that allows me to insert and extract a coilspring compressor through the small shock hole in the lower control arm, to replace the front coilsprings easier? it's a nightmare job i'd like to get done easier
thanks

There's a tool for that? I just got done with my 3rd set of big-block springs and discovered a ratchet strap threaded over the lower control arm is handy for winching the spring into place. Once you have it in position, it's a piece of cake! The strap also acts as a spring retainer so a chain is not necessary. Use a high quality strap, the cheap ones will break the ratchet, lots of tension there... I guess a compressor would help keep the top from popping out, which is a real pain!
