Default Anyone have a Spring Compressor I can Borrow?

hey, i need a spring compressor that works with small diameter springs if anyone has one i can use. the one i have wont fit my integra springs, the integra springs have a really small diameter and the arms are too far apart to hook onto it, i tried using it but the arms just snap off. thanks

use a 45lb. weight plate and stand the shock up, have one person push down to compress the spring, have the other person take the nut off/put it on. it'll save your eye
