For those considering doing it themselves be warned the springs for the hatchback model are tappered at the top so they really need to be compressed in a press. You can do it with ordinary spring compressors but because of the taper you will need two pairs. Found this out the hard way and after nearly nine hours managed to do one side. The other I will leave for now as it isnt to bad. Personally I would pay a shop to do it next time, def not as easy as the video.

Great video for those in the know, but! When the torque wrench clicks, stop. Very poor torque loading.
