    Camber is an issue, should have thought of that Interesting idea changing them in the car, never thought there was enough room to get the compressors in there.

      There is room for the spring compressors - just. I always undo the anti roll bar drop link at the top. This allows the strut to drop down further. The tie rod nut can actually be left undisturbed. The link posted by Jamo was when I did them the first time. 2nd time round I left the tie rod fitted.

      If you loosen the hub bolt before you start, this gives much more room when you drop the strut.

      If the dampers sink slightly, then they're knackered. The damper should return to it's original position. On this S2 I have now, the damper rebound was so strong, I really struggled to fit the top mounts using this method.

        Yeah. The Konis have done nearly 15k miles now.
