You can't.

 

[phantome46]

Yes you can!!!!

 

[u33db]

Explain

 

[phantome46]

the torsion bar should have no effect on the ride height adjustment the airbags will act as both the shock and then load support, so when fully closed it will sit on the bump stops and then when fully inflated it will rise up!

No one to date has ever done it, especially with the size or rim i'm looking at!

 

[JAMESSRICH]

so the torsion bars them self need to be removed??

 

[midge]

it can be done, 206's have torsion bars and there a load of them on air suspension.

 

[u33db]

Torsion bar does have an effect on ride hieght...the air suspension is only gonna alter the ride hieght within the limits of how far the torsion bar can twist.

 

[phantome46]

No thats not correct. You need to machine off the splines of the torsion bar and then push it back in! it then only acts as a locator for the swinging arms. the car will them be controlled solely by the airbags. easy really!!

Except the kit cost is mega money!!!

 

[u33db]

Ah but you didn't say anything about machining splines off! ;-p
