good progress! a couple of things. as another mentioned, if the coil spring is still on the lower perch, and still on the upper guide, you don't really have to use the coil compressor, but you can. the compressor should be able to hook onto coils above the lowest and below the highest. (that's a reading test). in other words skip the top and bottom coils and attach. move the second compressor as far from the first, doesn't have to be 180 opposite and most likely can't. there are often "U" bolts to keep the thing attached, these are safety items, use them. BEFORE YOU start this, you are on jack stands RIGHT? crank until you take the stress off the lower a arm, then install the bolts, you may have to horse the lower a arm around to get the holes to align. if you have small jack you can sometimes use it to force the arm holes into alignment, do one then the other. I like to use a phillips head screw driver in one hole to use as a lever to get the other one (or other side of same hole) to line up. Sometimes adding or taking away pressure makes the holes line up.
Let us know how it goes, take your time, it should go together ok.
