JBA,

I've done it that way before. It wasn't bad getting the spring out, but putting it back had my hair standing on edge. Trying to compress the spring with a floor jack while also aligning the inboard lower control arm pivot points was a bear.

I thought that this would be the safe and smart way to go. Guess I was wrong. However, my copy of the CD manual shows a spring compressor that is different than the one I have.
