   There's a thread about this mate, shows peoples cars lowered different amount on different sized wheels... give it a quick search, will probably come up with it

   may sound thick but whats the crack with lowering at the back seeing as theres a dirty great torsion bar there???? is it still just a case of sticking some lowering springs on it or what???

   there are 2 torsion bars, one either side, you pull them out and set the height by moving the trailing arms up, then putting the t/bars back in.

   a metallic pinging noise? could either be the anti roll bar end plate, or the bearings have gone.
