   If you mean just lowering the front by 40mm then no it will probably rub on full lock or when loaded

   I mean lowering the front 40mm and then 40mm (however many clicks that is on the torsion bar) on the back?

   but on my rear wheel arches atm there is like metal bit that goes in about an inch, and when i have 3people in the back then it touches the wheel (not good obv) so im guessing i couldnt lower it 40mm due to this?

   could you not get a grinder on it and grind it down?
