Me and Mark (but I have his at present) ;)
If you need some practice you can change my front struts as well, I have to concentrate on building jobs for a while yet.

I'm sure you need the practice to ensure you get yours right - and you car needs a 150ish mile run :P

 Oh no I dont!
I replaced front and rear on the roller skate (Corsa) on Boxing Day so I have had all the practice I need until it warms up by 20 deg. or so and in the meantime I have a sharp handling Corsa to play with.

Whats up anyway? You broken a spring?
How are you planning to reset camber?

Something amiss at the front, I'll let your ex-colleague explain....

I'm going by eye to do camber (which is out at moment), then get it WIM'd, as its all out at moment - she kerbed it heavily at about 40mph shortly after I last got it aligned :(

LOL, probably not too far, as I think one of my brothers from Newmarket is up on Sunday with a poorly Astra....

I've checked my home made ones, don't look as bad as I remember, so will attempt with them...
