The cost covered 2 Lambda sensors 2 shock absorbers 2 springs an anti rollbar link and 2 strut top bearings and labour @£250 incl vat so you can see I'm not very happy about the prospect of future bill!!!

If the arm is in good shape, it wont collapse. ANY vehicle with a new spring and a rusty arm or whatever receptacle its spring locates to, will collapse if not sound. But as Suzublu says, if it is to collapse, it would have collapsed at any time.
The vital thing is to check that the arm is sound when it is up in the air. To show how easy it is to change by the way, look at THIS video. (look carefully at the bottom of the spring he removes, you can see where it has broken - mine was identical and passed at least 4 mots like this, I preferred the handling before I changed them out lol)
