you can use a spring compressor if you have one or can borrow one, but if you cant find one you will need 2 jacks. or a jack and 2 jack stands to do it safely. the hobby shop has all that stuff. the hobby shop on 32nd street has the small chassis lifts that lifts your car up about 2 feet. i suggest using that lift if you can. and then use your jack to lower your axle and a arms down for the new springs. i dont know if there is enough room, or not but you may have to disconnect your brakes.

If you still need help send me a PM You do not have to remove brakes to put springs on a S197. I have the spring compresser as well. Best place to do it is Miramar. I am off next two days and this weekend let me know
