The only time I've ever seen springs fall out is when they have been cut- proper lowering springs don't fall out or even become too loose....

Maybe not fall out but lowering springs are shorter and they can sometimes come loose when the car is jacked up.

They will not slip out as such but when the car is jacked up they can become loose as they are shorter, this can fail a mot.

Your better off fitting a set of shocks as well really, if you look at the work involved it is not worth doing it twice.

I agree with wayne, after me and my brother fitted eibach springs today on my golf, i really cba having to do it again, it was quite a bit of work but i will have to when i put new shocks on ha! at the end of the day up to you lad!
