		Got a local garage?  They'll probably swap the springs (if shocks already off car) for a tenner or something, I hate spring compressors and now just do that, was only charged a fiver.
As for brakes, not sure what to suggest, everyone has a first time doing it tbh...best to get them checked before using it though.
