    wheels are 16" the guy i got it from said it was 60mm, and i used to have a clio that was 60mm on 17"'s i just assumed it was. is there any markings on the torsion bar or springs i could check?

    Think the only of checking is by measuring the back.

    Jack up the rear of the car, remove the wheels, measure the distance from the bottom of the car to the bit the bump stop hits on the rear arm, standard i think is 25cm so measure it and see what size you have, might not be absolute perfect but might give you a rough idea of how low the back is.
