It simply makes changing the springs easier if they are shorter to begin with, especially when working off the garage floor. I apply the spring clamp to the compressed spring when the weight is on it, nip it up, then remove the wheel, jack up the chassis and lower the axle, spring pops out with minimal effort, then reverse the operation. I have limited headroom also with a garage door that covers half the car body and i have perhaps 40mm clearance between roofrack and garage door. Its not about trying to compress the spring, just maintain a shortened length.
