If your in two minds then get someone else to do it. Garage near me is doing my tortion bar and springs fitted for £80. Worth getting someone who knows what they are doing to do it.

they can be a bit of a bugger to do, if you're handy with the spanners have a go but if your not so great pay someone as it can turn into a nightmare if you don't know what ur doing:y:

The one thing I'm handy with haha, give it a blast yourself but once you see that one bar is coming out move to the next before fully removing and lowering it, nothing worse than finishing one side and the other side spitting it's dummie out, also I make a pulled rather than braying them out. Less axle hammering abuse haha m8x12mm bolt with a nut and washerS, and a shallow 22mm socket :)
