lowering help

[toms_vtr]

rite my car is getting lowered on Friday and the man said i can only lower the rear by going down a notch at a time.
he said each notch is 30mm
does thins mean i can only lower it 30 or 60 mm :S
i want mine lower 50 on the back,
is this possible?
i no people have lowered there cars a different amount but is there anything in particular you need to do?
also if £100 a good deal to fit front springs and lower my torsion bar?
thanks people

£100 is cheap to get both the front and rear done. i got a quote by some tart for £200 just for the back. and i think the fella is rite. 10mm wont make much diferance so go 60mm :)

100 quid isnt bad for all of it lowering, the torsion bar is not 10mm per notch, my vts is lowered 60mm on spax at front and 80mm on the rear, i would recoment going for about 50, 80 is a bumpy ride!! lol

yea i want to go 40 on the front and 50 on the back!

im sure the "notches" way is a sure-fire way to fuck your sus arms up. correct me if im wrong but ive always been told it is

[toms_vtr]

yea thatsis what i have also heard!
i have printedoff some guides to lower it the other way byu taking the torsion bar out,
i will take it to him later and see if he can do it that way!

the man is talking rubbish, you can lower the back by however much you want and btw using the splines method is completely in accurate and you could end up with a wonky car, just to let you no:y:

60-90 for the win!

ye the notches method puts strain on the axle pins
