With 4 points of contact those look pretty reasonable. You have to be a bit careful with most types to be honest, they are usually doing thier utmost to slip off and maim you...

Depends on what car.

If its your Fairlane then you should use a compressor that drops down the centre of the spring once the shock is removed
