   Firstly im a complete newb so ignore my ignorance....
   
   wanted to drop car and been told eibach sprotline springs are pretty good. being very new to this i simply thought that it would be a case of taking off wheels, fitting springs to front and rear and jobs a good'un! But have recently found out that you get 2 springs and rear is on a torsion bar (whats a torsion bar)??? So anyway, gonna get some help to fit springs on front, but do i need to do anything to this torsion bar? how do you lower the rear?
   
   Thanks guys... and gals...

   There are alot of guides and threads on here regarding the torsion bar. Its a bit of a pain to do.
   
   Tts definitely possible to do it yourself with the right tools and know how, but alot of people have problems with it being seized.
   
   Have a search mate, the button's at the top of the page, as I said, there are alot of detailed threads about this, which will provide you with a better explanation.
