my new springs have just been delivered, and i got someone to fit them, but they have asked me what type of strutt mounts they are... pressed or bolted, im pretty sure that their bolted, but could anyone give me some info... its a 2001 1.6 vts.

It depends how confident you are are doing it really.If you have never done one before then I would say it will be awkward.
You cant tell how much of a job it is until you actually start doing it.

We do these everyday just about and theres not many now that are "easy" to do,you always hit some sort of problem when doing one.

Like Chris says its very rare to come across and easy ones anymore. I'm starting to think twice about offering this service to users.
The stuts are bolted and not pressed

I've been lowering Saxo's since they first came out and have seen the progression from the torsion bars being a half hour job to a few hours job as they are now.

They are getting harder to do, though a ramp etc does make things easier.Peugeot306's are even worse,similar set up but even more awkward.

Im sure Sparco_Tom has come across the situation where the customer says" can you just click the torsion bar down a notch"......it doesnt work like that and the job itself is a lot harder in reality than what it looks on paper/computer.

My best bit of advice to anyone that isnt comfortable with the torsion bar set up is to get some one that is to do it for you.It will save you time and money in the long run.

Hope this helps
