   I dont know what you've got to change over for coilovers, but I know the bottom spring pan is fixed in place, so if you did need to get rid of it, you would need a grinder

   You shouldn't need to get rid of that. The coilover just replaces the standard strut without needing modification.

   they dont need smashing, take the gold nut off what holds the shocker in the strut, once thats off and the shockers out, tap the underneath of the pan and it shud start slipping off.

    they just pull off . . . may need abit of encouragement with a hammer though.
