Like I say I have never touched the fronts, just the rears, I actually have an impact wrench so I will be ok, it's just what I have been told by someone. Don't know about using spanner and allen key?

Charlie no mate I am actually going the other way round, brought the car with Konis, one back one went so have now fitted standard shocks at the back, want to get standard shocks at the front and all new springs (Will be std) I spoke to someone else and they said they levered there springs out as well, I presume you still need to loosen something to do this?
