Don't be a douche.
Lol.
Havin' the rear of your ride higher than the front is better for control.

If it's slammed at the same height all round.. You're really not doin' anythin' good to your handling.

Keep the rear higher than the front as often as you can.

Thats all true to reduce understeer, but also remember the rear of the saxo is lighter so you need to bring the rear down aswell to bring the center of gravity down, so keeping it even all the way round would actually be your best bet.

Its easy to do, but your likley to get some problems on the way.

db_sax.. I can see what you mean.
Still... That's on the pretense that there'll never be anyone in the back.
If it's lowered at the same hieght all round.. If the car's full in the back.. You're talking about the back bein' a fair bit lower than the front.... Which is gonna be terrible for control.

Don't you think?

the theory behind the job isnt actually that hard but what makes it hard is that often as in my case the washer that you have to knock off centre jst before you pull out the torsion bar was rusted in palce...also its very had to get to the end of the torsion bar on the drivers side, one slip and you could round the torq screws...then they r a real pain to get out. have ago youself since yours is already lowerd the bots should be more free, but i would still say its not an easy job
want my advice i would go to a garage, she get it done for around £90-120
