Nah you won't need Spring Compressors 
I undid one side on the Red V plate Envoy that's down there! Just get the other side undone, undo the lower bolts and your away.

How are you going to re-assemble the shocks without spring comressors?

i have spring compessors but i wanted just to unbolt the old ones and put the new ones in,
i went to vauxhall and had a look to see wot i get for £19 and its just the bit with the threads on. what i need is everything above the red spring and the dust cover and bump stop.

so now i have decided just to strip mine down and use what i have.
