Colin, if you've got new top mounts, you don't need spring compressors, if you haven't you do, to get the old ones off the normal struts. | |

Try getting new top mounts from VW if they're cheap enough and you can't be fooked to take the springs/shocks apart. | |

you dont need spring clamps, sometimes the rear shocker tops can just spin if they havent been off a while an thus a spanner an moles grips is a pain in the arse. | |

nothing special at all, however an airgun makes doing the rears so much easier. | |

you dont need spring clamps and you dont really need the C-spanner. If its anything like a corsa an hour is more than enough time to do front and back | |

I'd be using spring clamps myself, apart from that just your usual spanners etc. | |

Will I need any special tools to fit a set of coilovers, or just the C-spanner that should be included?? |
