It doesn't sound like it's talking about clamping the springs at all. To me, it just sounds like "jack your car up on whichever side you're working on (Front/Rear) and support that end with jack stands".

I can't imagine how you could get this to work and even if you did it would be very dangerous.

What exactly are you doing to your suspension? If you need to compress your springs then go to an auto parts store and rent some spring compressors. They are pretty much like a vice grip designed for springs.
