dont take ya head off by undoing the strut top and not using spring compressors
lol
Seriously its quite straight foward keep the strut top componants in order and you should be ok make sure you got a deep reach ring spanner for the top strut nut, think its a 19mm and an allen key for it

use Bumpstops! for a quieter ride try wrapping the 3 middle spires of the spring in an elastic pipe, like these used for gardening.

to do the rear springs, only take the shock bolt off the bottom, u dont need to bother with the top if your just doing springs and as the above says: it only takes 10 minutes.

Dont. simple fact that if you just using springs you gonna have a shit ride, and probably fuck the dampers. invest in shorter dampers.
