    been done by spline method!

    how full was the tank when it was lowered, how full is the tank now? as its offset to the drivers side if i remember correctly

    how long ago did you get it done? it could just be that the suspension hasn't fully settled yet so might level itself out over a couple of days or so

    i take it you mean spax rear dampers as they dont make torsion bars.... i would get your rear beam checked as if it was done by spline method then it could cause some very major problems in a short period of time if it hasnt caused some problems already

    no the rear does not settle to any great extent!

    there isn't anything to settle!
    torsion bars have literally NO adjustment and dont have a memory effect apply to them as they are what they say! a BAR!!! its based on a twisting motion of tensile steel so the torsion is always constant.
