Torsion Bar Question

[_Tom]

I got my valver lowered a couple of months back and the place that did say its as low as it can go on the back. I was four up on sat and it didnt scrub once so it obviously can go lower as im normaly only 2 up. When you lower a torsion bar whats the measurment it is in? Is it Clicks and what does one click ammount too?

Surely someone knows! Come on, call yourself clio enthusiasts!

each clcik is about 30mm,l as a rule you can only usually go as 60mm, before you start having probs carrying people

Does it have to be one click each time or can it be less?

Got mine done at BB Tuning, they lowered it 1 click then asked me what I thought. I asked them to try another one to see how it looked.

They then did it another click but it was REALLY low and I didnt want that as the wheels probably wouldnt turn!

Shame there was no in between, 17s make it hard for a car to be lowered, my old one on 15s is lowered the same but is nearly on the deck!

i meassure the suspension arm distance and use the splines to check ive lowered the amount i want and to find where the torsion bar fits in.it only fits in properley in one place.eg-lowered by 20mm the torsion bar needs turning(from its original position) clockwise 8 splines to find its correct fitting position.

isnt that on the right hand only?

The clockwise bit.

 

[JAY172]

manual doesnt state which direction but i always count clockwise and the fitting point and the number of splines on my chart always match up.
