Cool Rear Torsion Bar Lowering

Hi All,

New around here, my name is Jordan but my Saxo is called Barry.

I'm having an issue, I have bought and fitted lowering springs at front because I picked them up dirt cheap, but no mechanic I know wants to touch the rear torsion bar, as I know it's risky.

I have a basic level of mechanical knowledge but nowhere near enough to adjust a torsion bar.

I'm based in West London, anybody know anyone who would lower it and a rough price?

Cheers

I'm not sure why there are still places that won't touch them, they aren't that difficult to do the hardest part is freeing the torsion bars if its an old beam.
