does ne1 know how to remove the springs from the car and is a compressor required also is there a difference between the back and front ones??

Front = spring compressor
Rear = undo shocks and jack the body leaving diff on ground

If you undo the top baljoint, you do not require a spring compressor to remove. If you are going to re install standard size springs, you will need a compressor.

The balljoint can be easy to undo, or can bust your chops. Depends on your luck.

I would just use a spring compressor on the front, I think I know how Bass Crazy does it and I think its dodgy unless he uses REALLY short springs. With a spring compressor you will have to undo the upper control arm from the body.

Also busting ball joints apart are a piece of piss. Unscrew the nut almost all the way then smash the knuckle a few times with a heavy hammer till it pops apart.

You switching to superlows or changing the strut?

Even the XR8 suspension we put in my car didnt need spring compressors. Just needed 2 people as the weight of a person pushing down on the cap was enough to beable to get the nut on.

It can be done easily with superlows, and as mentioned by Karl, the Tickford springs with a little help.

As for the ball joints being easy, ask SPHELL about the right upper balljoint on his car.
