I've made a gazillion mistakes in modding my 87 Mk I over a period of years. Learn from my mistakes: save time and money!
CPU Zapper: I've swapped out struts so many times (and even tried Coil-overs) that I've come up with two tricks which really save knuckles, and backaches. The first is assemble (compress) the front springs on the strut OUTSIDE of the car. Then just hang it in, when assembled. Second: for the rear springs, no need to compress the springs with a special tool. Just put a jack under the rear hub and use the jack to do the needed compression.
By the way, I'm just 200 miles South of you. I attended Zymosis autocross event a couple of years ago.
