   Do a search mate, lowering by sllines is the wrong way to lower.

   DON'T LOWER WITH THE SPLINES! Your car will get so many problems. You need to have the torsion bar removed and then re-inserted when you have the desired ride height.

   about 60-90 quid i think for just the torsion bar mate or around 150 for a full kit fitted seems the average price.

   If thats the way they're gonna lower it mate, my advise to you is find a new garage cos they should know that doing it by the splines will shag your car right up.
