Default HELP!! a question for those who did thier own spring install...........

i have a strut compressor, my only problem is the fingers that hook the spring wont fit between the coils!
its hard enough to squeeze them in normally, much more after i uncompress the spring on the strut

eibach pro-kit
the front coils look spaced out enough that it shouldnt be a problem, but the rears SUCK!

HELP!! my car is stuck on jackstands, and i have to go to the AZ audi meet 2moro at 3:00

Charlie,

Default We are talking Rears right?

and they are progressive springs? When I installed my rears (coilovers) using the compressors I could only hook 2 turns in the springs and compress, between this and pushing down on the top housing to compress the spring just a hair more (had someone helping me) I was able to get the top mount bolt through the shock.
