So, can I see pics of your spring compressor tool so I can be jealous? I bought one on amazon which said on-car spring compressor tool. I am hoping it works. I am very nervous trying this.

^^ that looks like the toda spring compressor.

It's obviously not the toda, but it's definitely a nice one. The toda one is designed to work on k series cars with the engine still installed, so it's lower profile (even works on civic si's which have basically the entire exhaust side blocked)
