I have my 98 DX hatchback with 4" adj coils. And there totalling the car. So Im taking my coils back. I can get them off, but I cannot get my stock springs back on. I rented a spring compressor, but I cant put it in between the coils cuz the strut goes thro it. WHAT can I do to get my stock springs back on!?!?!

 

rent the correct spring compressor. you rented the wrong one.

 

get the one from autozone that goes on the outside of the spring.
