    If I could find new lowered springs, I would buy em.

    As for compressing the stock springs, I used to do that on other 70's vehicles and it only really takes a simple, cheap (but potentially dangerous) spring compressor that is mounted to your springs. I say potentially dangerous because improperly installed it can become unsprung violently.

    Sincerely,
