Thanks my friend. I replaced a broken spring today. It came out easier than the new one went in. My spring compressor wasn't the best and the straps slipped. I had to cut the straps off in the end too but the jobs done. Thanks for the help, It was terrifying at times.
Hi, just a small question pls. It is a big diferents between standard and sports? If i have sports springs, can I change them to standard? Thank you in advance!!!
There's a difference in ride height with the springs, the shock absorbers will be different as well, sports shocks will be stiffer than standard and potentially different in length too, I wouldn't recommend putting standard springs on sport's shocks as this could impair the handling of the vehicle.
The easy way is to use an internal spring compressor, like the one from Sealey which doesn’t cost much. I didn’t need to unbolt anything to remove the spring.
I was slightly scared watching you put a spring in that had been held with straps that could of easily slid while putting the spring back in, lol. Good idea but a little dangerous.

Happy it went ok
Did one spring last night without this tip and it was a chore. This method made it way easier to get the new stock height spring in
Happy I could help
I had the same idea but I didn't consider the straps but I probably would have after realizing the compressors couldn't fit. good job mate!!
Thank you 👍
This video was a great help! Saved me a lot of guess work, thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Glad I could help.

Will this work on a USA 2006 mazda 3s 2.3L gasoline auto 4door sedan ?
Hi, please tell me how long does it take to install one spring and how much does it cost? thanks
did same on Audi A2 one side was ok with clamps but other where tank inlet is wasn't possible to use clamps so ratchet straps to the rescue
Happy I could help
Top man!

Those I have seen locally at the cheap store were like $160, the external spring compressors were $20.

It's not for the faint hearted 😁
