Yes,not too bad to do,done a fair few,mainly on  my Dads!,wasn't sure why though,maybe combination of towing and reverse parking on his steep drive,hopefully yours will have a ticket monday

yes need to change other one too noticed pigtail on new ones were thicker than the old perhaps they wont snap as easy.

They shouldbe replaced in pairs anyway. Sounds like your new springs are not progressive rate like your OE were.

Mine also failed this morning aswell neil ,on 3 tyres,and headlight aim,although i think the headlight aim was a con again,because when i took it back to be re-checked they dident even do the aim adjustment.Also same advisory as last year on wishbone bushes,and rear brake pads.About time i got those powerflex bushes in i think.
