I've had the best luck using a floor jack under the bottom spring pan and
using a long bolt or two through the bottom a-arms to guide the pan up to
the lower A arms. But I am running lower than stock ride height too
(race car). Always seems pretty sketchy and I keep my hands in safe
places until I get a few bolts snugged up. It requires the lower
bump stop to be unbolted from the frame to do this. I've not found
a good spring compressor that doesn't interfere with other stuff.
The one up the center (threaded rod as you describe) seems most likely to
work.<br><br>

I've seen coil spring compressors like the ones in your photo but thought
those were used only onĀ McPherson struts. DO they work OK for TR3
front springs as well?? Short of making my own compressor out of threaded
rod and blates, I can't find an internal (up the middle of the coil)
compressor that will clear the hole in the spring pan.... The ones in
your photo, compressing from the outside of the coil, look to be a
welcome alternative....<br><br>
