dont lower it by splines!
you'll fuck your beam up
remove the bars completely and lower it to however much you want

Take bar out, jack arm up to desired ride height (higher you jack the arm, the lower the car is) them replace bar...

Just to clear somethong up in my head... When people say about lowering it splines or clicks, its because they dont take the bar out fully, so in effect are over twisting the toraion bar on one side and not enough on the other...?
Taking it out, setting and refitting is the correct way because you arent putting any extra twist on the bar?

when doing it by splines/notches you remove the trailing arm from one end which disturbs the seal, letting moisture into the beam eventually giving you some cool looking negative camber

Like off all together? adjust fit on?
It seems pretty much straight forward. the ball ache is getting it out and poss damaging the teeth on the bar?
If it comes out straight away youre laughing ay..

I was told that if you lower the torsion bar the rubbers eventually split which lead to the bearings failing and then the axle snaps, so i was told not to touch it. Is that a load of bull or?
