Rear spring replacement

[Critical_mass]

Hi all,

I've searched online and not really found anything definitive. My question is - Is it possible to replace the rear springs on an Audi A6 C6 without the one sided spring compressors. I do have spring compressors but read you need the type that have the disc that sits on the spring coil and attaches on only one side.

or could you undo the control arms and drop the spring that way?

Thanks.

I had my rear springs changed last month , both broke, 100£ at a local garage 

I do belive you need to compress them

No other way but to you compressors on them then? i cant just disconnect an arm or two?

Appreciate the reply
