While watching one of the "Tuner" shows, I saw what looks like the ultimate spring compressor design in terms of safety and ease of use. It's an external side-mount affair using a heavy strap fed thru the spring. You use a pair of these, opposite each other. It has some sort of mechanism that tightens the strap as you turn the hex drive head.
Don't know if these can be rented, but it sure looks like the way to go on a C2 spring. Another plus is that you can easily create the banana shape needed for seating the spring top into its pocket.
