why would you want to do that? unless your using it for offroad but in that case a saxo is no use for it really even if it is raised.
please dont say your raising it to stick 20"wheels on, will look gash

I can see this ending with your Saxo being upside down due to its newly discovered dislike of a high center of gravity...

Still, will be something different. Would love to see pics if you actually do it :y:

basically is loweing in revers rarther than rasing the trailing arm with the torsion removed you lower it, but have a look at where the rear wheel is you may find you have clearence issues with the wheel and the front bit of the kit/ as really to do this to keep the wheel centered in the arch you would need to have the trailing arms extended.

I doubt very much it would work, at the rear yes ok you could after some modification to the brake lines and adjusting the torsion bar.

But at the front I really don't think so. The drive shaft would probably not go to that angle by either hitting the chassis or bottom arm, and even if it did clear the CV joints would probably not get to that angle, and even then IF they did that as well you'd probably get a few feet before they would just destroy themselves.

After that you have the problem of the wheels pivoting about an axis on the chassis that would cause the wheels to tuck under (extreme positive camber) which, with the higher center of gravity would probably cause you to roll if you did get it moving to a corner. Plus there's a million other things probably.

When competing on rally's the highest I've seen people run is plus 3 inches, and that needed wider bottom arms, adjustable top mounts and longer shafts. That was for clearance purposes on rough tracks etc.

Not trying to be sarcastic with you or anything like that, just giving you a reasons why (I believe) it wont work. Hope that helps.

If you had cash, and I mean if you had cash,

AirBag the car, then you can have it as high, or as low as you want it.

Again, its different, at the start no-one liked the Sticker/Graffiti effect, but once it was tested people loved it. Originality is bad, Difference is good :)

Bit different though really, I mean can you honestly see raising a Saxo 10 inches being a big hit in the modifying world..?
