    My dad did remove the rear springs on my car when we were doing the rear drums to ST discs conversion. It doesn't look hard however I haven't done it myself to say it's easy or not

    Very easy on the Mk6, rear springs just drop out once the lower shock bolts have been removed and the beam swings down.

    Fronts are the same as most cars these days, strut needs to be removed, then spring compressed and top nut removed.  Lift off top mount, fit lower spring (don't usually need to compress them) and push the top mount on while fitting the top nut.  Then refit the strut to the car.
