Spring compressors are good, but truth be told, I didn't use them the second time on my car, I left it on the ground, unbolted the strut from the TOP, slowly jacked up the car, and then the springs came right out. put jack stands under the car, then unbolt the lower bolts from the strut and you're good to go!

But please, BE CAREFUL doing it either way!!!
