   hi i am picking up my saxo next week, however the 1st thing on the to do list is lowering, i dont have a clue about lowering a saxo..
   
   is the rear of a 2001 saxo vtr torsion bar?
   
   What is the best lowering for one on 15" alloys 50mm or 60mm or is it better to get coilies?
   
   and how much am i looking at spending for a full suspesnion kit springs and shocks 50/60mm? and how much am i looking at for some decent coilies?
   
   Cheers Chris

   all saxos are torsion bar becsue its a pretty new sax you shouldnt have to many torsion issues.. i dont think you can drop it 60mm on standard frunt struts so maybe that would be a deciding factor. How low to go depends how you want it to handle. and i payed 120 for the drop exc springs or vat

   full suspension kits start from about £190 up to £££££
   
   are you wanting a full kit or just srpings?
