Hello, has any of you replaced the coil springs on an 8th gen, would there be any guides in doing so, more so relating to removing the nuts at the top, does the parcel shelf have to be removed partly and the support/Seat back next the side of the car, the piece on which the seat belt rests
 
Manual would be your best friend pm me if you need pages

did you get this sorted ?
 
Hi, thanks for the follow up, i did, replaced both. There is a little panel that clips out to allow access to the top of the shock once the seat back is let down

I wonder would the broken spring effect the alignment. When i first got the car aligned after buying it, the camber was out on this side. I bought adjustable arms to correct.
All was ok for a while and the tyres started wearing on the inside, so i got it aligned again, only to be told that they couldn't get the toe angle exactly at nominal value this side, suggested it was bushes, but i checked and these were all perfect.

After this i noticed the broken spring, i haven't got alignment checked since
