That's a very good guide james. Spring compressors optional? No, you'll need these for the front springs, or you'll loose a finger, eye or something else. Rear springs you won't need them.

spring compressors are only optional on 1*2's

Really, 1st. car I've heard off not needing them, I would still use them though.

NOTneeded on a 172/182

100% NEEDED on a non RS

Well thats pretty CLEAR then.

Yea, you can get them spring clamps from Halfords for £25.

Mind and use some penetrating spray on the top mounts the night before, saves a ball ache of effort in the morning.
