can you not just lower your axle until your coils extend out? the collar on them should have a holes in it for an adjustment tool too. it may take some effort but you should be able to compress them with this alone.

There are certain compressors made specifically for coil-overs. I've seen one on base at the auto hobby shop. I can't tell you much more than that though......
