I'm installing KYB AGXs with Megan springs (figured I'd be a guinea pig and try them, spring rates look good) but the problem is, as you can see in the pic I'm attaching, the AGXs are too damn tall and the holes on my knuckle aren't anywhere NEAR the holes on the strut. Anyone have any advice on somehow compressing the spring/strut another 2 inches? My spring compressors are too big to fit in the wheel well, and I can't get a jack under the strut due to the control arm. What do I do!?
