Drag Launch Spring Install, Help please
 
Basically how in the hell to you get them in. My car had 4 cyl. springs in the front and the drag launch springs are about two inches longers. I have tried two diffferent kinds of spring compressors and i was able to get it in but they i had no way to get the compressor back out. I am sure some of you guys have done it any help would be awesome, thanks

Leave the strut connected and remove the two A-arm pivot bolts. Lower the A-arm with your floor jack, insert the new spring and jack the A-arm back in to position. I always use a chain to secure the spring just in case it tries to jump out. There's a lot of energy in that compressed spring so use caution when removing/installing.
