How mechanically minded are you, fitting the springs is not that difficult, just takes a bit of time and patience.

You do need spring compressors as well.

as i say above done about 10/12 differant cars over the years and i can do all my own servicing and replace engines ect so im quite handy just woundering if there was anything off the beaten track i should look for, i have some compressors, so just need to order me springs from banshee,

If you have done other cars ****, you won't have any problems really, normal MacPherson strut up front and simple coil over shock type rears. I would assume it would take about 1 to 2 hours each front corner, maybe quicker as your bolts should be easy to undo. And about an hour for each rear one.

You will need to undo the tie bar from the front lower arm, just 2 15mm bolts, and remove the anti roll bar drop link from the lower arm. This will give you enough movement on the lower arm to remove it from the strut.

Strut is held in with one bolt to the lower arm. Once you have done this you can undo the 3 top mount bolts and the strut should come out.
