you only need compress the old springs 2 or 3 inches to get them off , the new ones dont need compressing cos they are shorter and slip straight on .you need to pay attention to how the top bearings fit on and the top strut mount , its just a slot on the top mount sits into a groove on the strut.i did a guys on here a few weeks ago using the spax springs and it did sit well low on the original 15" wheels.

takes me 3 hours max to do all 4 , rears can be a dog getting the small link arms off mind ya , use small molegrips when you round off the allan stud , to stop the whole thing turning. :thumbsup:
