haha, i spotted it 
I actually polished it twice this weekend. Did it Saturday and then Sunday i woke up & thought 'i can do better than that' lol.
Dont believe camber can be done on a Saxo 
Also... shock, shock... i think the torsion bar may be coming up. I LOVE the car being so low, but the car isnt liking it tbf. So im thinking raise it up one notch, still get coilovers to sit nice on front, and 50profile tyres for Wolfrace rims to fill arches abit more.

Anyone got any views on raising the torsion bar? Would be interesting to know people's opinions.

Well its 60mm on the front (for now) and the back is just to the bumpstops. I always used to say it was 90mm but my mate reckons theirs something like 160mm travel on the rear suspension, so he says its lowered 160mm. Either way it cant go any further. Its just the fact that one day i reckon the chassis will say no... and its been this low for nearly 2 years now.

Just been looking at yours lol. Are they 50 profile tyres on yours? If so, i dont believe you would get much lower without going to 45s to be honest. Mine is so close you wouldnt believe it (i mean CLOSE) but it never scrapes.
Plan on coilovers for the front, no matter what i do. The front will definetely go lower lol.
Your car looks smart though dude.
