Also, most people who tried to use the hook type spring compressor couldn't get enough compression on the front spring to remove the top strut hat/cap. Best thing to do is remove both the front struts, safely leave your car on jackstands, and take it to a strut/shock shop where they have a wall mounted spring compressor, and have them change out the springs for you real quick.
I only changed the springs on my front, so I can't help you on the rear.

Props for helping out a bro. Remember though, no good deed goes unpunished.
Spring hat retaining nut tool is #203 589 00 07 00.
"Bif Powell" over on the C32/55 forum has a swell thread on front spring installation with good pictures. It's worth searching for before you get involved with the task.
