Need help with lowering torsion bar

[MatM]

Right brought the front springs today no problem for £39:P , The problem i got is i have been to several garages and they will fit the front springs no problem but will not touch the torsion bar:angry: .

Where the hell can i get the rear torsion bar lowered to 40mm in the midlands:cry:

Please help

[MatM]

Been to a garage where i knew the peeps there and they said they would do it if they knew how:sad:

Does anyone know how you can do it, or where i could find someone thats willing to help me.

Thanks

can any1 help
i have looked thru some guides tellin me how to do it but none of them look like what mine dus

[raunchz]

pm willsy on here - I'm sure he can do it for you.

[stupac50pence]

if you dont know how to do it leave it, trust me. i did mine and it was a pain in the arse to say the least, You will need to use a lift as well so if you haven't got access to one dont even bother trying really.

Im sure someone will know somewere/someone who can do it for you.

loads of guides tbh looks pretty easy but its long winded....takes time to get the bar out..

Dont need a ramp axel stands and a jack shall do...also look at the suzuki tuning guide and there is another guide on sax-p which is pretty good shall have a look.

Please do not try it yourself, because you clearly have no idea how to do it yourself. Get it done by a professional.

[Steveupton]

Anyone near sheff/chesterfield who lowers the back end ??? All ya need to do is take bar out and twist it each notch lowers apx. 25mm I'd do it myself but I work 12hrs n time ain't on my side :/

please don't mention notches, its the gashest way of lowering a saxo,even worse then chucking paving slabs in the boot. notches=bye bye beam

yep, 8 valves,1.6 throbbing powerhouse that you have is surely the ultimate driving machine, nice first post, enjoy your time here

[Steveupton]

How else do you lower the back end??? Never done a t bar :/ always had vw's lol

[saxo-parts]

take the torsion bars completely out and turn then raise the trailing arm, notch method puts excess strain on everything and pre-loads the bars so the ride is awful. theres guides on here or pay us to do it properly, just down the m1 from chesterfield

[Steveupton]

Ahhhh really how much do you charge??

[The_Car_Guy]

Hi new on here so not really sure where to ask so this seems a good place. I have tried lowering my vtr rear but broke the slide hammer thread and managed to shear off 3 bolts trying the jack and shock method. I have used loads of WD40. What other ideas can i do at home? i would heat it with some oxyacetylene however that could cause damage to bearings? also close to fuel tank and brake lines. People have said that they hit the bar out with a sledge hammer however to me there seems no way of getting a bar in there as the suspension arm blocks access to the end of the bar you need to hit. Anyone have any advice ideas or pictures?

[raul0]

I'm thinking about gettin mine done but I wouldnt do it myself as i would end up with no car :wacko: Anyone in east midllands area that can do it?

[KrisB]

Dude, have a look through the affiliates section.
