Click search and input 'raceland coilovers' into the box, sooo many threads about them.

Coilovers are not meant to be cheap and any that are will not be the best quality, you get what you pay for.

[Domster]

[Domster]

Oh you could...

If your short on cash just get some second hand 50mm springs for like £30. Then adjust the torsion bar to match.

I don't understand why everyone thinks they need coilovers.

[Domster]

oh right! how do i go about lowering the torsion bar is it simple?

Here is a good guide

However, if you've never done it before I would recommend getting help from a friend who has or taking it to somebody who is able to do it, it can be quite difficult especially if the bars are seized in. Also, if you take it to a garage and they mention they would do it using the 'notches' method, steer well clear.

[Domster]

so could a garage do it? im dont thik any of my mates would be capable! what would i tell the garage to just do it but use the notches method?

I hope you mean NOT use the notches method!
Have a look in your regional section on here, there will probably be somebody in your area able to do it, or some of the relevant affiliate members on here. To do it properly, the torsion bars need to be removed, not the trailing arm(s). Whatever you do, stay away from the notches method.

[Domster]

yeah sorry not lol! ill have to have a look mate thanks for your help!
