Undo the half-shaft at the outside end so the trailing arm will swing down further.

Also, if it has a rear sway bar this will need to either be undone or come off completely.

Then push down on the trailing arm with your foot and watch out for the spring coming out - don't need a spring compressor to get them out.

Thanks guys and gals for the tips all went painfully well :] the original springs were still in the car!!! the bump stop bolt and nut on the drivers side seized up after a couple of turns and it posed a little frustrating at times running out of light lol but i got there in the end unbelieveable how much better it handles it hooks like its on rails now :) the su's and extractors are going on next and i got a performance electric dizzy price was high but i was gauranteed it was worth it also the l20 is not too far away now either yay!!!!!!
