The common 'external' type spring compressors....most often used on McPherson Strut springs....will do the trick

If you head to one of the old Jag websites one of the repairs is completed by using the brake rotors and threaded rod as a compressor. That is what I did, and it worked well. Plus no marks on my freshly painted springs. Check out some of the pictures on my page.
