   ive been looking at this guide http://www.suzukituning.com/PSA/Suspension/Lowering.htm
   and was thinking do you need to remove both torsion bars first before you alter the height?
   that guide says to remove 1 bar then adjust the height and put the bar back in then do the other side
   surely you have to remove both bars first
   im doing my vtr soon so want to know the correct method

   best to do 1 side at a time, that way you can lower one side and adjust the other side to match but as LSO says, its not critical and both bars can be out and set from scratch

   pretty shure the right has to be done first so you can get into the torxs bolt behind the trailing arm on the left........

   not if you have the right tools, T40 screwdriver bit in a ratchet spanner will have them out
