   The shocks are guna be under more stress what ever height you lower it, but most people seem to not go above 40 mm on standard shocks

   personally id let someone else do the torsion bar who knows what theyre doing. either a mate, a sax-p member or even a garage.
   from what iv heard they are not easy to do
