right i bought my saxo and its already lowered, im not sure how much but its slammed a fair bit. i scrape some speed bumps with only myself in the car. i have also managed to crack my front bumper. im getting a new bumper but was just wondering how much its likely to be to get it re lowered but at a higher height (hope that makes sense.)

regards.

well if you want it raised at the front, you will have to buy new springs then get them fitted and someone to adjust the torsion bar which could be from about £80-£150

would it not look stupid raised more at the front than back?

and therefore guessing the whole car would be between £160-£300?

can't really tell from that pic but it doesn't look all that low tbh, think the fact its an aftermarket bumper makes it lower at the front and you maybe not used to a lowered car and forgetting how low it is at the front means you driving at bumps too quick
