Odd... I've never needed any special tool to put lowering springs in... they've always gone right in for me...

^Same here. Just lower it down with a jack and they come right out.

Rent a spring compressor at autozone. I used the compressor to get the spring compressed then twisted some strong wire around the coils to hold it compressed. Installed the spring and then cut the wire. Worked great

What kind of springs are they? I changed lowering springs twice on my '94 and each time they practically fell back in place...

I finally got it together. it was H&R Super race. they are rated at 1050 and are stiff as hell. super tight fit and the spring had no flex being such large coils
