Yeah the front springs are a pain due to the fact the coils are wound up really tight at the top of the spring. So the spring compressor cannot easily get clamped on. It can be done but will be problematic. Might have to wedge the spring compressor clips in there. Just be careful. Install took me several hours total time. It is definately a whole day job with the spring compresor task included.

I wound recommend you take pics of your original spring setup at different angles so you know how to orient the new spring on there. It has to be installed just right. Don't want an uneven drop.
