Default Coil Spring Compressors

After the fun and games trying to compress the front springs when fitting the new OE Spec B springs does anybody have any advice on which compressors to get for my refit of STI springs. The standard Laser type compressor didnt compress the spring enough so had to go to a couple of local garages to borrow theirs! Id rather get it done on the drive myself if possible.

I know your pain on this, the laser ones just slip and you can't get enough compression on them. I've borrowed a set from Scott, much smaller but better engineered with a course, square cut thread, so much easier to use but haven't been able to find a set anywhere.
