   So I had a go at lowering these f*ckers today and to no luck. Had a search and found loads of threads about 4 extreme basildon (im in essex) but the latest I could find was from 2010, anyone know if theyre still around? And the cost?
   Ps couldnt find website and phoned but no answer
   Cheers

   Soak them both sides of the contact in a half a can of trade size WD 40. Drive around for a week. And they'll come out like butter.

   indeed, WD40 is as the name suggests, purely a water displacer.
   
   you want heat ideally, oxy-propane, none of this namby pamby plumbers stuff.

   Guys thanks for your advice, really appreciate it but in all honesty I dont wanna do the rears myself because I know ill make a pigs ear of it. Felt confident but never touched torsion bars before.
   
   Is 4 extreme still open? Or is there anyone on here anyone knows about that could do them for me thats not too far?
   Thanks again guys
