you have to compress your spring to install the spring , or let your ball joint installed and just remove the 2 bolt of the A-arm it can be easyer like that ,

The easiest thing about doing front springs is getting yourself either hurt or killed. I would suggest you either inlist the aid of someone "in the know" or at least get yourself a manual with step by step instructions.

sometimes they need to be compressed and banded but use extreme caution

are you putting stock springs back in? I have only had problems getting stock springs back in, lowered springs go in no problem, stock ones will have to be compressed.

I am trying to install steeda sport springs, the local spring shop don't want to band them for me because they say it's not safe to do so, my car is like new so i don't want to scratch the out of anything....if thats possible.

They don't wanna do it because if you hurt yourself it'll be on their heads.
