right, so if i buy a 35mm lowering springs, does this only include the front 2 springs? ive heard the rear suspension on a saxo is a torsion bar. if the 2 springs lower the front, wudnt it look out of place with the back not lowered,

or am i talking complete rubbish? let me know please

cheers
andy

any suggestions where is good to get saxo lowered/torios bar adjusted near manchester and prices

and yeah 2 springs on the front torsion bars on the back, which are normally seized and to lower it you take the bars out measure the height and put them back in, not the notches method which i dont know what is, but if someone says how many notches walk away as its the wrong way to do it!
