front slammed back jacked up

[andrestokes]

i brought my saxo and the front was low, and i mean really low. The back end was really high on gas shockers, so replaced the gas ones with standard ones. Now i want the back lowered, but most garages will not touch it even cituning said they wont just lower the back why is this any info:y: :y: :y:

[Wayne]

cause there is a special way of doing it, you will have to take it to a specialist.

[marc_safc]

a lot of normal garages wont touch torsion bars as sometimes its a chew on for them as sometimes it gets siezed up.... best off trying a specialist

[smiith]

DIY :)

just ask around where people got cars lowered :) and try some they tell you

[andrestokes]

why would you have the front low and the rear in the air

[smiith]

maybe did the springs himself, but couldnt sus the tortion bar :)

[marc_safc]

theres some mechanics on here that will do it for you mate... i cant think of their names though... 1 of them said 60 quid for it all thats with you supplying the springs but not sure how much for hjust the torsion bar

what just the torsion bar???

[Berg]

when i asked about getting my torsion bar
certain places wouldnt touch it due to safety i was told

[marc_safc]

if its 140 just for the rear torsion bar then thats a bit steep.... can probs get it done for about 50 ish max

[Jackman]

I wouldn't pay £140 to do both the front and back mate!

Im having mine done for £80.

[andrestokes]

i am not to clued up on suspension but there is alot of adjustments to do

just dont get ripped off mate... if your saying the front is already lowerd and you just need the back doing then 140 is way over the top just for the back end

[andrestokes]

i will ring round and try for a better price cheers m8 and off the subject how do i get a pic of my car under my name

[marc_safc]

think you have to have 50 or more posts but imnot sure mate was a while ago since i had that problem lol.... but i know that you have to upload your photos onto www.photobucket.com just sign into them and upload pics of your car then copy the IMG tag below your pic once its uploaded and copy it onto your avatar

thats a huuuuuuuugggggggeeeee ripoff!!! i'll do front and back for £60.

[Hopcraft]

better off paying petrol and going to williams as you know its the proper job. reason why its lowered at the front is because springs are alot easier to change than adjusting torsion bar. 140 is very steep to alter torsion bar !

why did you replace gas shockers to standard ? surely gas shockers are much better.

wheres that?
