   lol @ clicks . . . do a search for the suzuki tuning guid, for lowering torsion bar.
   make sure you lower it the correct way! and not the click way!
   
   and a set of 60mm sprigns up front...sorted.
   
   some may suggest changing shocks.

   just cable tie / bend the pipe out the way. on a mk2 it with rub and eventually piss out pas fluid.
   
   badgermotorsport.co.uk has the proper way of doing the bar. the clicks/notches way isnt accurate as will fuck up your beam after a while. at 60mm you'd be better off with the matching dampers as the springs will probably never seat right on a damper too big. would wear the standard one more aswell

   i dont seem to have a problem with my PAS . . . im down, much more than 60mm... checked all lines, nothing rubs, nothing catches...
   
   i guess some people get the problem, and some dont. :/

    This is quite worrying. When i got mine lowerd it took him 45-50 minutes, so i assume he just clicked it down one? Which is wrong yeh?

    It would take longer than 45 minutes to do it unless you had a team of 4 experienced mechanics doing it?
