well as im no expert diyer lol this what i thought of doing
step1. Jack car up remove rear spings
step2. mark of were i want to cut on the top of the spring
step3. cut lol
step4. take the cut of coil and put it on the other spring and mark of then cut.
step5. Refit springs to find out my cars arse is dragging along the floor
If it all fails i will just end up going to a vauxhall scrap yard in dunstable and seing if they got any springs lol
