    are you on standard suspension
    and are you lowered

    if you answer yes to both buy some dampers
    if your not lowered then lose the big bodykit

    You must really hammer that car to get those arches to rub!

    edit: read it wrong i was looking at the arches not your skirts. you could upgrade your dampers for stiffer ones, if you havent already

    not really, its surprising how much the back goes down with 3 people in, you can get stonger shocks to stop the car going down, or make the bump stops higher, stoping the car from going so low, alternatively loose the fibreglass sideskirts and get standards.

    seems to sit really high at the back when its empty. i'd say new stiffer dampers

    usually means shockers are on the way out (getting week) nothing to do with torsion bars if it bounces alot, next time you out near car push down on rear and if it bounces more that one a half times theyre gone/going but it may not show untill you have a bit of weight in there, or the passengers should take it as a sign to loose weight

    lower it on good quality springs and dampers! problem should be sorted just take out the torsion and measure it down properly do not do notches, splines, clicks or what other gay terms people use!! As for your car get some smoked rears and smoke fronts and lower will look the bee's... I really like that kit fella! (don't normally say that)

    Remember slow, good and steady progress always wins!

    loose the wing at speed will make loads of down force and force the car into the road causing them to bottom out

    or loose the kit you chav and stop ragging your car lol
