Question ? for those with KYB agx's and Eibach Pro kit

I finally got my goods (KYB agx's and Eibach Pro kit) and was wondering how every one compressed their front springs to get the top on. Did you use simple spring compressors ,have a good trick, or other......?

Thanks

True true but I think I keep my working parts engine bay under side cleaner than my lac-luster paint job

Oh well I appreciate it when I'm under the car and dirt and oil aren't dripping in my face.

Check out www.shox.com. KYB agx set of 4 cost $ 455.00 and Eibach Pro-Kit $ 209.00. I ordered Tokico HP and Eibach Pro-Kit from them and service was very good.
