   Dont get it lowered that way!
   
   The correct way is taking the torsion bar out and adjusting it, not simply "putting it down a notch"
   
   It can wreck your rear beam.

    moved to suspension section
    
    may be worth making a post in scottish section for local places.
    
    or you could search the forum for tips on taking the bar out
