Also, do these pads come in various thicknesses?
I recall trying to remove the springs last year and gave up because removing shocks and sway bar mount was not enough. The upper treaded collar keeps the spring from coming out easily. BMWs don't have this. Had not considered just loosening bolts per spdbrake. Worst case would be unbolting things until you get enough clearance which is not hard but time consuming.
