You will need it lowering mate. You can have a go yourself but I would advise some one who knows how to do it.

Have a search on here for lowering in your area and if that fails put a post in your regional section of the forums:y:

I'd be able to do it at college but it's just knowing what I have to do I've herd you have to click it up two times but I wasn't to sure and thought I'd ask on here.

Don't do it by clicks you will fuck it up. You need to remove the torsion bars both sides then jack the trailing arms up by the amount +5mm you are wanting to lower by. Then refit.

No such thing as a seized torsion bar they all come out. It's just knowing the way to get them out.

google 'badgermotorsport lowering' or 'suzukituning lowering' for guides

dont do it by clicks/notches/splines, is inaccurate and can goose your beam for you

We have lowered many cars and never failed as such....
We have denied lOwering a car before as the rear beam was shafted! So recommended he get us to refurbish a beam for him and when we fit it we would lower it for free :)
