   my saxo is lowered but it seems like it sits lower on one side?
   
   do you think it may not have been done properly or the size one side
   
   i have changed the axle so maybe it wants driving to settle it?

   It'll take a few hours for the suspention to settle perfectly.
   Or you can take out the bolwing ball out of the boot

   lol thats what i thought at first as i had a big 7.5ton lorry jack in the boot though it may make it uneven then i took it out and it didnt really budge lol

   So the rear was done the correct way?
   
   Measure the difference between each side, could be the fact that the torsion bars haven't been re-inserted correctly.

   will measure later and check
   
   the car hasnt moved since the axle has been swapped over tho so may settle once its been driven?

   when we lowered mine last week it still sat high once it was off the jacks, drove it out of the yard and parked it up and it sat fine and dandy, just drive it and then measure the clearance.

    Did the person happen to do the torsion bar in clicks / notches?
