   £70? You should have had it done there and then!
   
   That's really cheap.

   No such thing as seized bolts, anyone whos good with torsion bars will be able to free them up. Would be better finding an inderpendant person rather than a garage and get a flatt rate price for the job

   We charge £80 here for the rear (only an extra £20 for front suspension on the same day)
   
   Rear can be done to whatever height you wish.
   
   Can't believe they charged you for attempting it, a professional garage too and they couldn't even get the bolts out of the torsion bars? Very poor
