Agreed, sounds like you are not using the right tool for a dual spring.

I finally got all the little bastards on. I have never had such trouble putting springs on. These things fought me every step of the way. I had to get a different sprigns compressor with a little bigger arms so it would hold on to the inner spring also. And it still BARELY would get the little spring and I had to get it on just right and squeeze the **** out of it to make sure it didn't pop off. I think I have 4 total hours putting the damn springs on. I had to compress them pretty damn good to get the locks in also. Can you damage the springs compressing them to much? I will post up pics in a sec.

You aren't hurting the springs by compressing them!

Cool I thought seals would be a bitch to put on because I have never done seals with heads on a car. That part took 5 seconds. Everything has gone fast and smooth so far besides those springs. If they were single I think it would have taken me an hour. Now time to put in my new pr's and torque them down!
