Good point Poid... And just for clarification, i thought it might save me trying to organise spring compressors (and some time) - but if my idea was just crazy (which it looks like it is!!!) then i'll just go out and get them. Even though Poid explained to me how to do it without spring compressors (at the Accord Cruise), i just wouldnt trust myself. I would either injure myself, my friends, or my car.

Thanks for the comments guys! Oh, and it was a Civic that i had done the springs on last time .
