   Hello guys,
   just need to know wether or not to go to 4xtreme to get my torsion bar lowered 40mm or not as some people reccomend them and some slag them off,i really need to be sure before i do it.
   plus they are quite local and i dont want to havr to travel to far ( lazy lol).

   4xtreme essex are good for lowering! its just what they use!
   like when they lower the torsion bar they will use second hand dampers and they just have careless workmanship!
   but if u do get it done there make sure u stay and watch!

   well some mechanic are cowboys! they will use hammers and stuff!
   
   they will just wreck ur car!
   just watch them and if they do sumet u dont think is right tell them!
   
   like when i took my car to get lowered they didnt suport the axil and the car just slamped! they had to replace the dampers and some other things! but when they did it they lowered it and i just had to pay labour! so cheap

   Tbh mate, i would just travel a bit more, and go to r-tec or someone else because if you go there, and they fuck it up, they wont re-fund you and you will have to hope someone else with sort the problem out, and then lob out another £120.00 else where, just get it done once and the proper way..

    Well, when your car has just been lowered its hard to tell if one side is 35mm drop and other 40mm, and also they do the shit method.. so i had to pay and they did lower, and to go back to what i had first place he was still charing.. this is my opinion there crap and do go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
