I can't get these suckers back in.. I've tried the clamp thing with no success. Any tips or pointers?

Front or rear? I never did the rear springs on my car...I got termi ones with my IRS.

When I swapped the Termi front suspension on my car I had trouble with the front springs tho...I found the easiest way to do them was to jack the car up high enough so the control arm dangled freely, put two spring compressors on the spring itself, stick it into place and put a jack under the control arm. SLOWLY start jacking the control arm up, the weight of the car itself will compress the spring down far enough so you can get the strut into the tower...bolt it down into place, pull the spring compressors off, and repeat for the other side.

how are they too big? the ones I used you just put on an upper and lower coil, then use the impact wrench to drive the giant bolt through the two halves, pulling them together.
