spring compressors
anybody else used these? i might get a pair for when i do my suspension because the ones i've used from orielly's to fix a bent shock were meant to slip inside of the spring, which didn't work so hot on the miata as you can imagine.

On M.net one owner (Mad Swede I think) said he had problems fitting it over the spring. I once borrowed one from a friend, it sure looks the same, and while it takes a little fussing it works fine. When it came time to actually buy one I cheaped out on the sticks o' death and had no problems with them. If I were to be working on a pickup truck or something I would go with the big guns, but the Miata suspension doesn't scare me anymore. I just remove the shock/spring unit, throw a towel over the nut on the end and step on it while I lossen it. It might move a whole 1 1/2 feet when it pops off.
