   right did a search to no avail so thought i would just ask the question.
   
   Right the saxo has been lowered before i bought it bout 80mm which is no good for my drive so i need to higher it.
   
   On the drivers side iv removed the shock bolt (22mm), The 1mm bolt thats holds that plate. Iv then moved the plate and reomed the t40 torx and the washer so i can now see the torsion bar end no probs.
   
   BUT
   
   The passenger side iv removed the shock agen and the the 13mm bolt and the torx and washer like the oother side but iv also noticed where iv removed the torx from 1 end on the drives side theres another 1 on the oother side which looks very difficult to get to (by a brake line)
   
   do i need to remove that 1 aswell and if yes wheres the other torx on the
   drivers side?
   
   does anybody have any pics to show me. Soirri for the noob question

   Yes you do need to remove that torx bit too, there is 1 on each end of both torsion bars
   
   2 are really easy to get to, the other 2 are a bit fiddly. If you undo the 13mm bolt that holds the brakeline bracket on each side thatll enable you to move it enough to get in to the bolts easier

   Theres loads about, just depends on how low you want to go
   
   The most popular ones that people seem to go for which offer good value for money is either the:
   
   Spax 40mm or 60mm ones
   or
   Apex 35mm or 50mm ones
   
   Loads of others about: heres a link from the kamracing website which details prices etc
