Amen.

Though it seems slightly kludgey to use the car, it's convenient and 
super-safe. To swap springs, I take the packed-bomb of a spring, put it 
under the "frame rail" that runs under the seat (more or less), drop the 
car on it, take off the spring compressor, jack the car up. I suppose if 
you did this every week it would become PITA, but for once a year the 
car is a nice dead weight and if it gets sideways, better under there 
than in my shop.
