Best way to remove front springs if you dont have the propper clamps to keep the springs from flying out?

What do i do? - Trolley jack underneath then Cable ties?

No...

Undo the top mounts completley with car on ground. Then lift car on a jack.

Or fire them across your garden. Right laugh

Personally I wouldn't even attempt it without clamps. Is it worth injuring yourself or damaging anything for the sake of £20?
