how to replace coil springs
If you have basic tools this entire repair can be had for as little as $250. You would pull out the shocks and springs then install the springs first then the shocks.
If the compressor is bad it may be from leaky air bags on the rear. this will cause the compressor to run more that it should shortening it's life. At that point you may want to look into replacing them with a coil spring kit and eliminate the compressor setup(just leave it in there). I know that didn't immediately answer your question but it's what I'd do if it were mine.

I have done this suspension job myself on my '03 Town Car. The springs, not shocks, are what replaces the air bags. You can find the rear spring replacement kit here. As you can see, it's not expensive at all. There is a very minor decrease in ride comfort, but also a minor improvement in handling.
