Just did Springs and shocks with new compressor

Hi,
2 months ago I bought an '88 turbo convertible that the PO had changed to an SPG.
I just changed the springs and shocks back to regular stiffness. The car is not on the road yet.
I put Eeuro regular springs (scantech) and Boge shocks all around.
I used the Harbour Frieght Compressor (see link below) that has one threaded rod in the middle and 2 claws that grab the springs.
It was only $25 and worked great! I wanted to post this because I had asked the board about it. The only recommendation I would make is to cut about 3 inches off of the threaded rod and throw away the 3 inch spacer tube thing that comes with it. Also get 3 spirals of coil between and not includig the claws.
The SPG springs are sitting happily on the floor of the garage.
Plan to put the car on the road in a couple of weeks.
Next up is Speedo(odo broke), tighted e-brake cable, change rusty fuel filter, detail and chase down some dash rattles.
