Rear Suspension Q

Thanks Al, they're down, now I'm soaking the lower bolts to get the 22 year-old rust off.
   
  I've got a spare set off of my mk4 incase I snap these. They're 5mm longer but should work incase "of".

Springs will decompress as car lifts, and won't have enough compression to be a problem (including on reinstallation - though you
may need another helper to guide the strut shaft through the towers).
