There is a spring Removal tool that you can purchase for like $30.
Otherwise try this http://www.abella.net/vw/eibach.html

go to an Kragen or Autozone and for a $50 deposit they will let you use their spring compressor

i had a lot of problems with the front passenger side strut. i got too impatient and pissed so i just took it to get that one out for like 20 bucks. once you do get a hold of the impact gun, the hard part is getting the strut out...good luck.
edit: nevermind, i thought you had a mk4
