   recently got my self a vtr mk1.
   
   Plans are to lower it and paint the vtr alloys white, seen spax 50mm springs on ebay and think there my best bet at the moment.
   
   Never lowered a car with the bar on the back, how is this done, would i have to take the rear beam off to fit?
   
   Anyone got ne pics of a green saxo lowered with white vtr wheels?

   I wouldn't even bother attempting to lower te back unless your good with spanners and have a fuck off big hammer... and good hand eye coordination, it's not as easy as you think just by looking at the guide..
