I know I am late to the party but as a tip for anyone one else reading... throw your spring compressor away. Take a chain or heavy duty tow straps and attach the bottom of the floor jack to the top of the frame. Use the jack under the control arm to compress the spring. This method is much faster and much safer than the junk parts store spring compressors I see people use.

Also there is a small hole on the top of the spring pocket. Looking through the hole you can see if you have you spring rotated far enough around.
