follow the Haynes book. Use coil spring compressors you should have no problems. they will be a bit lower, and harder. Have you got them cheap? cos new non genuine uprated springs are very cheap and have warranty. old s/hand ones could have been in a smash, could be cracked, or could have lost their strength.

Well i dont know if they are cheap or not, i live in spain and here there are not many things to mod a nova, im gonna paid 60 eur for them (50 pounds aprox.), they're second hand springs and come from a GTE whose owner changed them to put another ones (koni or bilstein i think, these are the brands you can find here, and they are very expensive for me). Does anyone know a online shop that makes shipments to the continent? Thanks
