Did you go to advance or any other parts stores? I hear they let you borrow them to use.

i have never had to use a spring compressor on a fox mustang, especially if using drop springs. you did seperate the spindle from the strut and lower the a-arm down, or seperate the lower ball joint from the spindle and lower it down right. thats all i have ever had to do. then when putting in the new spring set it in place and use a jack to jack the a-arm back into place and reconnect everything.
