However if anyone has a quick rundown how to do it i would appreciate it as well don't want to be caught in a well it b :tsktsk: y looked easy situation :D

Er.... I paid £120 to have mine fitted. :)

Also their is a guide in the Knowledge section - just print it and take it with you to the garage if your getting them done from a garage.

I'm having mine fitted at the same time as the TT's are being done, £25 per corner, not sure of the make but they came from Alex.

And make sure the ABS sensors are disconnected, or else they might get broke

That guide is sound advice! those springs are under 100s of lbs of pressure, get it wrong and you will be seen on "radar"

The fronts are OK to do, the rears are a :tsktsk: in the :tsktsk: cause you have to remove the boot liner

Monster Matt made a posting on it

At the presure these are under, I'd be more worried about losing my face rather than cutting it.

Tried it once on a BM, the clamps slipped and the spring went completely through the bodywork of the car, since then it's someone else's problem.

I figured it this way, by the time a spent the dosh on compressors to do the job i'd prob be 1/2 way to paying for someone else to do it. Then there was the agro of messing about on a trolley jack, witness Mr Morse and his mishap. So take a day out and save a trip into orbit :D
