It is. I have spring compressors and I've done around a dozen suspension installs on various cars. I hate the compressors but I use them when needed. I first tried this method on my NB miata and have since done it on an NC miata, and now the BRZ.
When re-installing the rears, use a piece of wood or something else hard to push in the strut piston a bit so you can wedge the strut into place easily. The strut takes a a few seconds to rebound so you have to be quick, but not too quick.
