I think there is two dangers with my springs, tbh if it wasn't for the fact I will be driving up mountains and up one of the most police state roads in the UK I would have left my springs.
I contact the to cup is much reduced which I assume will put more preasure on the spring cause it to break up further and worse still snap in the middle (if this happens the spring can violently decrompress and the sharp bits explode the tyre, this is a very common problem).
If it was the back ones I would just do them myself, its **** easy but the front ones you have to remove the brake caliper and decompress the spring which is beyond me.
