On 79-04Mustangs you do not need a spring compressor if you have a jack + jack stands.
What some do...
1. lift front of car with jack
2. place car securely/safely on jack stands
3. place jack under front control arm
4. unbolt top of front strut
5. slowly release jack to allow front control arm to drop all the way down
6. grab spring out of control arm once fully uncompressed/dropped
So basically if you do it the way above, you will not need a spring compressor.
ok i think i got most of it thank you the only part i think that might trip me up is where i have to mark the c/c plate i cant see it that well in the how to picture

Ok, in that article they are telling you to mark the plate simply to "record" your current alignment setting, so that you can put it back to the OEM settings, or compare to the OEM settings. You can eyeball this after you're done bolting everything back up.
Its always best to get a professional, two wheel alignment after lowering. So you'll want to give it a few days to settle, then go to an alignment shop. Never rely on your markings or guestimates.
