Hi mate, it's very risky not using spring compressors on the front. Where I haven't done the rears on the rolla myself, I have done them on a Polo GTi, and it has the same rear suspension setup. And the springs just dropped out easily, and the new ones went in even easier. If you're concerned it's a real easy job to take to a wheel place and get them to do, they don't need to remove the rear trim out of the boot, so it's hard to see them getting it wrong.

Cheers, Gav.

If ya got the cash best off taking it to a suspension shop to get it done. Suspension aint something ya wanna muck around with if your unsure. Good luck.

Having just watched it being done, get someone else to do it who knows what they are doing. The front is especially difficult.

Money well spent.
