Just a quick one, I've just read the treads on lowering from previous years, cannot find the answer to....

 

Is there a way of lowering the ream beam 35mm, rather than 40-50 as the main site article states? I'm not planning to go too low, as i'd never get the car up my street - the potholes would ground out the car!!

 

Cheers chaps.

If you take the torsion bar out completely, then you have alot more adjustment as the splines are different sized at each end, you need a dummy shock or similar and set the beam to the desired height.
