Wow, I literally cannot stop posting in my thread.

I fought with one of the springs for my struts for the better part of two hours on Sunday. Maybe it was the spring compressor set I rented from Autozone, but I wasn't able to get the spring scrunched down enough to put it on the strut and bolt on the mount. I looked at getting a "clamshell" style compressor, but every one I saw online said it was only useable on springs up to 7 inches in diameter, and mine are 8. Any suggestions?

When I was younger / more broke / dumber, I solved this issue by assembling everything the best I could in place, lining up all the holes, etc. and very carefully lowering the car down on the springs. :clint:

Probably don't do this either
