   How hard is it to lower a saxo? And how long does it take? Me and my mate were thinking of trying it. Is it worth it?

   The older it is the harder it gets due to corrosion, in short there a cunt.....
   
   In all honesty id rather pay someone to do it and i do most work to my cars myself, the only car i have lowered on a torsion bar was my old R5 GT-T and there a piece of piss compared to a saxo

   If neither of you have done a torsion bar before i would go to someone who has.
   
   It's one of those jobs that's easy if you know how and a complete b$stard if you don't.

   get it done professionally. if it a car with all spring it easy. torsion bar a pain as you got to get each side right height as old the get they get seized. i had my car lowered a year ago 89k 20021 y reg. they didnt think they were able to do it. or it was dismantle it which been 8 hours labour. would of been pretty expensive
