    Just to give you an idea mate heres one which we did the lowering on a few days ago.
    
    He only had 30mm springs for the front, but the rear is down 75mm
    
    
    
    
    
    If you want to see one really low on the rear have a look at LEE_VTR1's progress thread in the photos section as you wont find many that low

    chap in plymouth, will do it for 30 quid... not bad either, 35 if its seized... but he doesnt seem to think its a problem, mine was a wanker and he didnt find it too bad apprntly :s . . .
    anyway im looking at going 110-130 if its possible, basically going as low as i can on the back. *currently 50mm*
    unfortunatly, after having a long term relationship with a lass whos beleifs were "beauty before pain" i now think, what the heck, its going to look mental.

    I would be inclined to question which method was used for £30 to be honest. The proper way is a damn sight harder and more time consuming than the 'splines or notches' method which i would suspect he does for a cheap buck at that price

    Where can I find this person? Does he do it the proper way? Might think of going a bit more lower.

    for £30 that will be a big sledge hammer, wack the bit out of the tortion bar, put into position, wack back into place, same other side, put back together , tortion bar is piece of p*** if ya ask me tbh, i lowered my saxo 100mm and i still went 40 over speed bumps wit no probs , apart from the car nearly lifting off , i can do tortion bar for a price if ya want

    he does it, by taking the t-bar out, raising the arm to desired height and putting the bar back in place... no turning or twisting notches.
