   Just looked with a mate at lowering my car and almost before we even start i come across a problem.
   
   
   
   I can't even get the bolt out (number 2) as it has rusted and looked rounded off before i even start.....
   
   What options have i got?
   
   im just concerned that even if i can get that off the rest of the torsion etc is going to be seized! HELP! lol

   1 wd40 over night
   2 they will be torx bits
   3 and to be honest if your strugling with them your never gonna get the bolts and washers out that cover torsion bars ends (as theyre off centred and awkward to get to, and grown in) let alone get torsions out
   
   see if some one on hear is near and has done them and is willing to help, sorry if this seems negative but you really dont wanna knackard the beam etc or end up with it not lowered
