They are next on my agenda, just gotta get some spring compressors to fit these though as I need the top mounts for the McPherson struts.

Don't think I need spring compressors cuz ur not taking the springs off the shocks on the front should just unbolt from the car as one thing mate

I need the springs because I'm having to strip down my old springs to get the mounts and top bearing, other wise it would be a day in the A&E lol
