Got these bad boys in the post yesterday:

They are twice as thick as standard units and really hard. The standard units don't cope too badly although they do bounce a fair bit on bumpier roads which is why I am going these for uprated ones. I was really lucky as I saw a pair on Egay for £60 which I couldn't believe! They would normally be £65 each, hell I paid £46 each for the rear ones. Can't wait to get these bad boys in.
I have a question though, when I swap the struts out it says you have to compress the spring just to remove the strut from the car (not to dismantle the strut) is this really the case? Baring in mind I will be removing a standard damper but with a shortened spring on it. So is it only with standard springs you have to compress, should I be okay getting struts out with shortened springs on them without compressors? I don't want to remove the springs I want to get the strut out as one.
