they only reach over 3 springs.....id have been ok if i had a couple of pairs of compressors....could have clamped them down as far as possible and then used second set to take them down....anyway.....found a gargage that put the new springs on with a hydrolic compressor £30 for the pair so im happy....still saved a fortune. only 1 side left to do then its ready for its re-mot on saturday.

cheers for you replies.
