Default Norcal- where did you rent your springs compressors for lowering springs ?

hey whats up i'd like to know where all you norcal folks got your spring compressors when you lowered your car on springs, cause the ones autozone rent out for free are too big to fit in between the spring cracks, thought about coilovers instead but nahh.

I had a little bit of a problem too so I just put them down lower, toward the middle of the shock.. I dunno if that would help you though, but it worked on my ground controls.

I know o'reillys has some too, but I dont know if theyre around where you live.
