youd better say where your from mate
Id do it for you mate, but im in Cambridge!
Sayin that i could be in Bristol at MOD Abbey Wood, Filton area at the end of the month!
1 click isnt a lot mate, its more like 3mm iirc!
I didnt do mine by clicks, i unbolted everything and just jacked the hub up to the desired height and then poked the torsion bar back in!
I was quoted £120 by Ranatec to have my torsion bar adjusted!
I thought that was a bit steep but its up to you 1.8_16v
renatec are well good!!
i got my bar slammed there and they have always done a well good job whenver i go in!!
wheres this post about them being crap???
I had mine done a click and the car was on its arse..........literally, u should see the scratches on my back box!!!
had to get it put up again til i find somewhere wholl match it to the front. The one click seemed to drop it somewhere between 30-35mm maybe even more.
you do it by measuuring the rear arm to vehicle distance or rear arm to floor. according to my manual moving the torsion bar 4 splines changes vehicle height by 10mm. you meassure your distances,mark the original torsion bar position,remove the torsion bar,jack up the rear arm the amount you want to lower,move the torsion bar around from its original mark by counting the splines(eg-20mm drop means move the bar around 8 splines) and refit it. the torsion bar will only fit in properley in one position. you use the counting of the splines to find that position and to check youve lowered the correct amount and on both sides.Quote: Originally posted by Cathro_16v on 13 April 2004

^^^^^^ What i said!!!
You cannot do it by clicks, its piece of piss!
I have done it once but could do it again in less then an hour, if your T-Bar comes out ok id do it in 30-45 mins! (im no mechanic or anything, i work in Finance)
I changed all my shox for spax kit and lowered my T-Bar in 3 hours!
Give it a go mate, or come up for a drive, only 3 hrs and i will do it with you!
