Angry suspension question

when fitting coilovers, if the strut its self is too long, how do u compress the spring/shock to be short enough to fit in and bolt onto the hub ????

do i just need a spring compressor

I think once you have low suspension your hub gets "used" to sitting up higher. When swapping back to stock I just couldn't do it, so I gave up and paid someone to do it - who also had great difficulty.

Spring clamps MIGHT work, but could get in the way or be hard to remove.
