What's the best tool to use for replacing dual valve springs with engine in the car?

It's about time for my dual 987's springs on the TEA heads to get replaced. I've got 62,000 miles on the springs. I only spin to 6,300 rpm and they seem to have held up really well.

I would appreciate suggestions on tools.

Thank You
