i made one of these from scrap 1/8 inch metal
just get some 8mm stud and grind 2 flat edges go you can put a wrench on the stud.

 

the one from www.vincihighperformance.com does 2 springs at once/ even dual springs. made out of billet steel. http://www.vincihighperformance.com/...TS%20PAGE.HTML

 

The tool Gen3Benz is talking about works great. You can make one yourself with a little time and about $5. I don't worry about swapping out my springs with this tool in my possesion. The spring swap took me about 4 hours if I remember with a dinner break included, and that was my first time changing springs. I can e-mail you the dimensions and a pic of it if you want. Just shoot me your e-mail if you want it.

 

I would have to #rd the simple flat steel tool that gen3benz & Krab are talking about.
Sometimes the simplest one works the best.
