Viking Coilover Assembly

[lsuguy]

Has anyone had experience assembling a set of Viking Coilovers? They require quite a bit of spring compression in order to get the top retainer installed. Problem is there isn't a spring compressor that I can find that will work with the tight clearances between the spring and the shock body.

I have friends that run Ridetechs and they aren't having this problem....

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.
